Quote"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 have a multimallet that has the same rubber pads, first wash with soapy water then goto a supermarket and get a Kiwi shoe shine triangular polish widget they cost about £2.00 the shine lasts about a year
