Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds?

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.

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.
