What is best to clean/treat all the rubber seals and gaskets on the doors and hard top?

Occasionally I use a little spray silicon. The seals don't need much attention until they are really old and get hard.

X2 on the honda stuff, it has a Japanese name and it outstanding. With this stuff a very small bit goes a long long way. One tube will last forever and cost around 20 bucks.
