Toothbrush

Toothbrush , then I use automobile interior polish like ArmourAll Protectant plastic polish to restore the rubber. Make sure not to use too much or it becomes oily.

This one got YouTube guide? Sounds risky to the lens

this video show how to clean the white stuff

is that a marker pen?

Or you can purchase and replace the rubber

meaning i can actually replace the rubber? where can i get such product? what does it called?

You actually can replace the zoom ring, focusing ring rubber they do not put adhesive between the rubber surface and lens barrel.

for your case I think ur lens is 28-70 Tokina/Nikon? you may contact tokina ask them for replacement.

or you can find it in ebay:

my lens is by sony. default set for sony a7. possible i can get replacement in this?

I try search awhile ebay seem like no people is selling this LOL. try contact Sony service center?

i tried too. I guess that's the last option.

brush does not work?

You can actually remove the rubber, and clean it thoroughly under running water. I actually did that to my olympus 150mm f2.0 lens. But the rubber will become elongated but still useable. I not sure about sony, but if the rubber are not glued to the lens, you can actually try it.

Another way is your can try this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJCyUkc8KEk

Just use alcohol swab. It will do the job.

Just go to nearest pharmacy and ask them for alcohol swabs.

Hmmmmm, not sure about this but should be ok on lens rubber barrel. Just not the lens cause I heard something about damaging lens coating.
