How to care for soft touch rubber on inner handles?

Is there a product thats made for conditioning/maintaining the soft touch rubber on the inner door pulls? I think overspray from my interior cleaner mightve made it go bad.

Just replaced the driverside with a brand new one and it already feels tacky.

Alcohol does a good job at cleaning off the melted/sticky rubber but im hoping for some type of product specific to the soft touch rubber.

I also feel the soft touch rubber on the F3x/8x is older version/generation of this material. I use my remote control 100x more and its in better shape.

Thanks for any help.

303 aerospace protectant
It's usually in the boat section
Works great on all the plastic and vinyl trim
I use it for plastics under the hood as well

Thanks, I already have some. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Has anyone use gummi pflege? I also have it and its made for the rubber door seals, rubber weatherstripping and trim and is probably better than 303.

I just used Gummi Pflege and it seems to work great. It removed the tacky feel and has a slick coating now. Its also pretty durable and somewhat waterproof.
