Lon,
DON'T USE BRAKE FLUID! Brake fluid is corrosive. Yes, it will eat paint.
There is a product available called Black Magic that is a rubber
moisturizer that I find works great. It leaves rubber a rich black but
once dry, is not shiney like Armourall (which actually draws moisture OUT
of rubber and plastic). I've used it for a couple years now with no ill
effects and keeps the rubber from getting hard.
