I believe treadmill belt lubricant is silicone. I've seen it sold in
foil packages similar to salad dressing packaging.

just thought of something, would DOT5 brake fluid work as a rubber
conditioner? That I know I can buy locally rather than having to order it.

I used to cover a jar with a paper towel held in place with a rubber
band - then poke a hole in the towel with the spout tube from a can of
silicone spray, then spray the silicone mist into the jar until I
captured a few tablespoons of the liquid.

Then, using a 1-inch bristle brush, I'd paint all the door gaskets with
the juice.

More recently, I've found that Tire Wet - the stuff that shines up your
tires - works better, and lasts longer. I get the refill bottle and just
paint it on when needed.

I asked this a while back and don't recall getting an answer... does
anyone sell non-glossy tire dressing anymore? I used to use some
Meguiar's - I think - stuff that made your tires black but not glossy.
Really liked it. Any store I've been in in the past 2 years or more has
not sold anything but "EXTREEM SHINE!!!11!!eleventy!" products however.

As an aside to your comment, my 944 has one of those semi-squishy black
rubber spoilers on it, and I've found that spray silicone works better
than tire dressing - even when I could find the non-glossy stuff - for
keeping it "really black" and not having too much dirt stick to it.
When I remember to apply it.

However, for the door gasket thing, I may have to break down and buy
some tire dressing just for that purpose, because it seems easier to
apply than any of the silicone products on my shelf...
