Off Topic: Good Latex/ Rubber?

Hey,
sorry this is off topic, but i posted this on a specialist site and got bugger all back. So i figured my fellow mucky people out there would lend a hand. =)
Basicaly, i need to know what to look for in a quality item of latex/ rubber. Idealy, something i could spot from a shop on the net or Ebay.
I know moulded rubber is a no go, but, what else should i be looking for?
also, are there any shiners/ dressing aids that anyone would recommend?
cheers in advance,
