Some of the old car guys soak the rubber parts in Armorall. It does seem to help, but they"re not like new.

Just a thought came to mind... We used to soak the milker inflations in a lye solution every weekend for a couple of hours. It removed the lime but also made the rubber soft and pliable for our 'bossies'. Rinse well and wear gloves and don't breathe the fumes. Found in plumbing aisles where drain cleaners are sold.

Its the ozone in thw atmosphere that deteriorates rubber.The best protectant is silicone oil.It excludes the ozone from contacting rubber.It will not ,however, restore cracked rubber.
