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,

If there are rubber surrounds what about a "Rubber Rejuevenator" (spelling)?
In the Printing industry the ink is transfered from a metal plate to a rubber "Blanket", these Blankets are treated with a liguid wipe on Rubber Rejuevenator to extend the life of the blanket, I am in no way saying this is a good idea for speakers just asking a what if question.
I like the AC/DC response Seasoned! Sounds like the thing to do! I was just wondering becasue I have heard of some people putting things on the surrounds and was wondering if any "actually" did this...so far, doesn't sound like anyone does!

There are so many different kinds of rubber and rubber like material. Different chemicals will interact with different materials differently. So don't blindly apply chemical to your speaker just because other people use that on a different speaker and they like it. Always talk to the manufacturer first.
Armorall has silicon and I wouldn't use it or anything else that contains it.
Hey Ehaller and Cytocycle:,

Right On! I discovered 303 Protectant a few years ago (at a sailing shop) and use it on my vintage '98 993 Porsche Carrera dash and the Carrera is definitely worth more than my HiFi rig, so I definitely have had great success with it. I have not tried it on my speaker surrounds since I have MG 20Rs and thus no surrounds.
