Door weather strip lubercant

I've noticed honda dealership's service deparments like to lubercate or remoisture the weatherstrip around the door area, this helps prevent them from drying out and not providing a good seal. Does anyone know what type of lubercant they use? i think its a spary cuz the tech that did my car on the first free oil change did a messy job and it had spary patterns all over the spotty area.

TIA

follow up on my question. i did some research else where and found out alot of people like to use Shin-Etsu Grease. It is used on the odyssey to lubing the rubber door seals. Or you can use some 303 silicon based lubercant or armor all. The best bet is the Shin-Etsu Grease. You can only find it from your honda dealership or some sites around on the net(handa).

Its recomended everytime you do an oil change, you lube all door seals.

Amsoil Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease would work too.

How much does Shin-Etsu Grease go for at the dealership? Im thinking about getting a tube to lube the sunroof so it doesnt leak on me in the later years

I used silicone nano tech. The weatherstrip around the door area made a squeaky noise. Sthe silicone fixt the problem. Maybe is a good idea to use it on other ruber elemets like protections for shocks, driveshaft boots to prevent the cracking.
