Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

I want to clean/refurbish my Sillicon Mallet playing surface. It is
made of the rubber material as the vintage pads, and with time has
become dull and grey.
I was thinking of something like Baby oil or Paste wax.......does
anyone have any suggestions as to what I can use to shine the surface
up with-out making it too brittle or damaging it.

I think paint would seal the surface, making it brittle and cause it to crack.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
