The few pairs I cleaned up were only dirty and a little faded . I do not see why the Meguiars 57 would not do the job. It’s a premium rubber cleaner/ conditioner protectant. Could not find it locally, I had to order it off the internet. Reasonably priced too.I have used Meguiar’s 57 Marine * RV Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner Protectant with good results.
What do you use now?I too used Armor All without any worries until a fellow BF member expressed some doubt and suggested other products.
I've used Armor All on SE eye cups for almost 20 years with great results. Remove the eye cups, cover with Armor All and let them sit overnight. Wipe clean in the morning and you're good to go. I also use Armor All on my Leica and Swarovski bins.a search didn't give me a satisfactory answer regarding rubber conditioner for rubber eyecups on my SE's and E2's. would appreciate any input.
thanks
As they have various products, please buddy, can you specify exactly which Armor All... (May be one snapshot).I've used Armor All on SE eye cups...

Thx. 😉
I'll give it a try on my Leica BNs, thanks!It also works on rubber "blooming" (the white stuff).
Did you leave it on for several hours?^^^
Armor All no help. sigh.
Too bad it didn't work. I had success with an old Zeiss dust cap that was almost white.When the Armor All was still wet, it looked like it worked. But after a few minutes it dried and the grey reappeared, so I wiped it off.
They actually looked better beforehand, with just a thin coat of WD40. I may soap-and-water sponge bathe them to remove both products and do test patches.
