What are other mk6 owners using to lubricate the door seals to stop them squeaking and thumping?

What are you using to dress the exterior door seals to make them look better when detailing?

Chemical Guys new look trim on exterior trim.  Use sparingly (less is more) and if you don't want gloss finish, wipe down with microfibre after application.

Gummi Pflege on all Door/Boot rubber seals. Fantastic product..

For lubricating hinges either a clear silicon grease, or WD.

And for the exterior I forgot to mention, CarPro Perl is a good product, and has many uses!

Gummi pflege is crap IMO.

As soon as it gets wet it runs off and makes a right mess of your windows and paintwork and lasts about 5 minutes

I just use PBnatural look dressin now.

It's good for the interior rubber seals for the doors and boot, but Perl should be used for the outer ones.
