Almost any silicone oil/paste will work. I just get a 250ml bottle of 100-200cst shock fluid from the local RC model shops for 5-10 quid.

Be careful some lubes can attack rubber, Vaseline for instance is not recommended except for flexible plastic seals. |
The base oil is silicone though. If it's lanolin blended that's cheap too, although it stinks to high heaven

I'll take the Shin-Etsu, I know it works.
I'd be guessing if I tried to buy something cheaper for the sake of saving a small amount of cash. |
I've had the same tube of shin-etsu for the last 12 years, overall, the cost is not excessive!

An aresole of Holt's silicone & rubber spray is my goto.
Seems to be very quickly-absorbed, so you'll need to go over it a couple of times. I use a sock puppet, to apply it neatly. Since only one of the cars has window frames, I get through quite a bit of it, over a decade... |
Sock puppet?
