Griot's Rubber Prep has worked near-miracles for me on really oxidized, nasty rubber. And it's taken off stuff that seemed really tenacious too, like adhesive residue (many adhesive removers do a nasty number on rubber, drying it out).

Some people here will swear that they can't get the "Zymol Vintage look" with anything else and I'm not gonna say they're wrong. Ditto for Zaino.

I do usually do LSPed wheels with a shampoo mix, but a stronger one than I use on for regular washing. I've used it on tires but it only cleans sufficiently when they're not very dirty. Some of my vehicles make such nasty brake dust that I have to really *scrub* the front tires with Rubber Cleaner at every wash.
