Default Caring for black rubber seals

I was wondering what people are using to clean/protect all of the rubber on the S2000. There is a ton of black rubber especially around the windows and doors when you open them all.

its just a particular brand of grease. I have a tube, and have used it on rare occassions. it keeps the seals from drying up.

start with the owners manual... the grease HandA sells is per honda and will last forever and do the best job. No brainer.
edit, just realized that sounded a little harsh and may not be accurate. It may be the shop manual (Helms) that has the info on the proper grease.

It's the Owner's Manual. It says to use the Shin Etsu grease. Be careful, though. This stuff goes a long way. Squeeze just a small amount out of the tube & work it into the rubber. You won't need much at all.

Just an FYI. Shin-Etsu grease is a silicone grease and not a petroleum based grease. It's main use os the rubber seal where the top meets the car at the windshield.

And this is to be used on ALL of the sealant rubber, right?
In other words, the rubber by the side windows as well?
