I'm sure you all know that 'Gummi Pflege' just means 'rubber care' in German - I'm currently using the Liqui Moly stick but have used a Wurth banded one with the same affects.

Yep, search Gummi Pflege into Amazon and you get multiple brands, Moly Slip seems the most popular.

Do you treat all the door seals with Krytox? How do you apply it and how long does it last?

Treat what needs treated.

Put on a pair of gloves
Put a little on the palm of the left glove
Dip a finger into the Krypton and apply

It lasts for a number of years. If VW could get away with using a cheaper alternative they'd use it like Liquimoly, Sonax etc.
Same reason they use Quantum oil and not amazon own brand!
