What do you use to lubricate weather stripping, etc?
I've heard/read that I should be lubricating weather seals, t-top seals, window seals, etc. to prevent drying and cracking. Lubricating with what? I don't think crisco, hand lotion, or wd-40 is what people have in mind. I've seen references to GM part#12346241, super lube, is this it? If yes, is there a generic equivalent? Is there a product at an autoparts story I should seek?

WD40. A real lite rub with a clean silicon grease works good as well. Don't use to much as it can rub off on clothing.

Silicon spray is silicon based and is a lubricant/sealer
WD40 is mainly a water displacement/rust eater that "kinda" lubricates. A good silicon spray is quite a bit better IMHO.

Spray silicone on a rag and then wipe the rubber seals on your car with the rag.

I use Wurth rubber care. I heard about it from my paint and body guy. They have allot of car care products and so far a like all that I have tried. I tried the dupont silicon in the winter to keep the doors from freezing shut and it worked pretty good. I use the Wurth when I have time to go through and detail all of the trim and rubber. It's not cheap though.

I went to our local AutoZone and they did not stock the back-to-black. Nor did they have any input on what to use or if they sold anything. Waste of time to even ask
I'm going to go pick up some of that 303 products stuff at a local boat store. The reviews on the net about it are great!
