What Should I Use To Condition Rubber Weatherstripping?

[Dust N Bones]

I used to use Armour All to condition all the rubber seals around the doors, trunk and engine bay to keep the rubber from cracking. Is that a good idea or should I just leave it alone? Someone told me the Armour All could actually hurt the rubber seals. What do you guys use?

I like Wurth, but it's hard to find.

OOOH! 303 is good stuff!

I like that it is low sheen,especially for the top of the dash,and protects against UV rays for 6-8 weeks of exposure to the sun!

I like 1Z Vinyl/rubber care Einszett Tiefenpfleger (pronounced “Tee-fen-flee-gar")It protects and cleans in one step. But if you like a "matte" finish I use 1Z ****pit Premium.Click HERE for 1Z Products from Autopia.This is how the Tiefenpfleger looks. Sorry it not the interior but it looks the same on the dash.

I like the silicone spray lube for rubber.

I like that as well.. Ive used it, though it is a little greasy.....

Read the label on the silicone spray, if it says petroleum distillates don't buy it for use on rubber, at least it helps my conscience. Even though silicone is a PD. The "pure" stuff keeps the windows from sticking in the closed position so you don't get the 'boom' upon opening, which seems hard on the fragile mechanism (which most of us seem to replace).
