Default What 2 use for rubber spinners...Need answer quick!

On the SC cd changer (I am sure its the same for most models) there are two rubber spinners that move the cd out of the deck and into the player. They get old and dusty and lose the grip that they once had. My question is this: What should I use to get those suckers sticky again?

An isopropyl alcohol wipe. Not a q-tip with alcohol on it, but a waffle-surface alcohol-soaked wipe. They should have these in Wal-Mart or a drug store like CVS, Walgreens, etc.for medical disinfection use. Can probably also use a witch hazel wipe also. Pure 100% ethyl (grain) alcohol works too, but doesn't come in a wipe.
It's the same process as cleaning hard rubber capstan wheels on tape machines.

Alcohol will certainly clean it (and it probably can use a cleaning), but you might still need some glycerine or silicone to soften up the rubber, if it's not too far gone.
