Engine Hoses

Can anyone reccomend me a product to use to potentially clean the hoses in my engine bay? Like all the black rubber ones. They all have a slight brown tint to them from oxidation/heat and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to clear them up a little. Thanks.

Mother's Back-to-Black? it's really easy to spread around and it won't dry out the rubber.

Is that the same stuff I've heard reccomended for using in your wheel wells also? Is it a spray or something I've got to rub in?

EDIT: Nevermind...found it on their site.

This is what I do. I take my favorite Degreaser and scrub them good. Rinse them off and let them dry for a good 5-10mins. Then I apply a good Vinyl/Rubber Dressing and coat everything that has been cleaned. You always need to make sure you clean off the rubber before you dress it.
