Do the rubber seals around doors, trunks, etc., need any type of lubrication? We live in Arizona, so freezing isn't a factor like it was in Wisconsin. Doors would freeze quite often.
I'm in Phoenix and I use Meguiar's Natural Shine on seals every 6 months or so to keep them flexible. Never had any problem with them drying out or cracking.
Apply Sil-Glyde once or twice a year. There is an aerosol silicone grease made for electrical equipment that is great for this application but it is expensive. I think Menards carries it. Seems like the last time I looked, this product was about $15.00 so it's not cheap. Somewhat easier to use than Sil-Glyde.
I would think that cleaning it with a towel after a car wash would be enough, and more than most people do.
With that said, I used a thin wipe of dieletric grease until I got some 3M silicone paste. Then I recently bought a tube of the Shin Etsu juice and have been using that. I bet Aerospace 303 would work even better in an Arizona climate with the sun protection.
