Im looking for a product I can use that would be perfect for conditioning the weather stripping and help it seal better. My GM owners manual for my chevy cruze says to use dialectic silicone grease but I heard that attracts dust and dirt. Anybody have some good recommendations on a product and how I should use it???. Please help

Wow, GM is still telling you to use DC 7? This is what you want:

Einszett Rubber Care Stick Gummi Pflege, gummi pflege (http://www.autogeek.net/1z-einszett-rubber-care-stick.html)

Or you can use WETS or UTTG.

X2 on the 1Z gummi stick. Works perfect for weatherstripping and such.

Another vote for Gummi Pflege.

And it lasts a long, long time on my cars. Even the always parked outdoors daily beater.

Everyone recommends Gummi and I'm sure it's great but I'll give you another option. This stuff restored my exterior rubber trim on my T-tops better than new. And beads water like crazy, nothing sticks to it.

Duragloss Marine & R/V Protectant #531 provided UV sunscreen protection for gelcoat fiberglass boat and RV finishes. (http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss-marine-rv-protectant--531.html)

awesome thanks guys =]. I just tried this stuff from Mothers...its their protectant for vinyl rubber and plastic. It seemed to work really well. Gave the weather stripping a nice smell lol. Ill still keep these other products in mind though. Even thought about getting something from 303 =]

How are you guys applying the gummi in tight corners? Does it wipe off of paint okay if some gets on there?

I rub my index finger over the applicator and use it to apply to any tight areas. The viscosity is really thin and not at all "greasy." In my experience, any over application that gets your paint is easily removed with a microfiber.
