Any type of a vinyl/rubber conditioner would be fine. IIf you use anything to add a shine then you open yourself up to more upkeep time to be spent. Reason being is that anything you use to enhance the shine of the pieces will attract more dust / dirt and when it gets wet, will streak and make an even bigger mess.

Aerospace 303 is the best stuff for that.

I've had some good luck using Leatherique Prestine Clean in a smaller 4oz pump spray bottle. It really does a great job conditioning the rubber and keeping it factory fresh. 303 Aerospace Protectant is another great option as I335 mentioned.

I, too, like 303 but find it somewhat perishable and it needs to be reapplied frequently. ECS has piqued my interest in the Wurth product.
