Default Audi actually makes a great silicone spray, better than the typical PEP BOYS stuff
hard to believe but true =

Default I never even considered KY for the door seals!
But damn.. it's water based and will dry up too soon.

Default I use the thick, tire dressing silicone (in the clear spray bottles) on a rag to hand-wipe the seals
No overspray, that way.

Default Try this...
BMW dealers sell a rubber conditioner with a weird name, can't remember the name (I will check it). Made in Germany. Really works great on all rubber. I will check it at lunch and post the name.
