Doug, I used Low Gloss Armour All recently on my baby blue Super and it brought some very old and beat up Campy glove hoods back to life. They still won't come off in one piece, but at least they are far more presentable and I therefore don't need to replace them yet.

I have some intact and flexible Modolo hoods (anatomic gum) that I am certain would not presently come off the levers in one piece. What products/concoctions do you folks use on gum hoods to preserve them, or better yet revitalize them? Son of a Gun, an Armour All type treatment, has been recommended to me (thanks Bruce :^) and I have read of folks using low gloss Armour All (and others saying "Whatever you do, don't use Armour All ;^) I am curious to hear what seems to help and what doesn't. Thanks in advance.
