Has anyone used this before? From my understanding this thing can make window seals, door seals, basically everything soft and rubbery keeps it fresh and soft like brand spanking new =D insights?

Honda Shinetsu Silicone Grease

Shin-Etsu works very well in keeping the rubber seals pliable. I recommend that if this is your first time using Shin-Etsu to clean your seals first. Apply a thin coat with your fingers in order to get into the folds/tight recesses of the seals and then allow to cure for a day. You will notice that in most cases the seals will in fact swell some and soften up. If the rubber is very dry a second coat may be needed. Just remember a little goes a long way.
Re: Honda Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease
I attempt to treat all of our NSX's rubber seals once per year with Shin-Etsu silicone. It can be quite time-consuming as there is a lot of rubber, especially in/around the doors/Targa.
What I usually do is treat one segment at a time... i.e. the trunk area; the front hood area; the passenger compartment area. I try to open the portion of the NSX I intend to treat up to the sun to warm the rubber (after gently cleaning the rubber first). Then apply Shin-Etsu by hand and let it "bake" under the sun for a couple of hours. Then let it cool, and again run hand/fingers over it to "rub in" and distribute the silicone evenly.
Even though the NSX resides in a garage, the rubber always seems thirsty and feels relieved to be treated. Plus, if you show your NSX, it looks fantastic!

I sware by it! Great stuff. I took the time and cleaned and applied this to my X, it helped salve a small leak issue I had on my targa. A little goes a long way, I used a rubber glove to apply it.
