Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds?


Hello!

I was wondering if anyone out there puts any products on their speakers rubber surrounds? I notice that mine get dusty from time to time under the grills, so I do dust them. I am wondering if perhaps they could benefit from having some type of "moistening" product put on them.

Thanks for your input,
Ben

I apply a coat of Vinylex (sp?) annually. It is a vinyl and plastic treatment made for automobiles by Lexol. The label says it helps replenish the plasticisers that are removed from sunlight and oxidation. You know, that funky film that builds up on the inside of your windshield. That's the plasticisers evaporating out of the dashboard. Plasticisers are also what gives your auto that pleasurable new car smell. Despite the fact they're bad for your health. Been treating the rubber surrounds for about 4 years now with no ill effects.
