You can order it online or get it at a Honda dealer. Wipe it on then it soak in then wipe any excess off
What's the best product for keeping the weather strips and seals from drying out?
I use dielectric grease. Wipe it on, let it set for several hours then wipe it off. RV dealers sell products to lubricate seals on slide outs that also works well. I don’t know what it’s made up from.
When I bought my Rockwood camper, the dealer gave me a can of the Slide Out Seal Lubricant. Told me they use it on all the rubber seals on the campers. Appears to be a silicone base.
I tried it on my C4 and found it works very well without leaving a greasy feeling on the rubber or car. Does not capture dust after using it. The seals have responded well to it. I spray it on my fingers and gently rub it on the window, door, and roof panel weatherstripping.

I've used dielectric grease, and it works. However, if this works as well, might just be the way to go. Certainly wouldn't be as messy......
I'm gonna chime in on the Honda ShiNetsu grease. In the car world this is the holy grail of seal protection. A few years ago I had a Saab 9-3 convertible that started leaking through the convertible top seals. I went online and researched and discovered it on recommendations by pros. Not only did it restore the seals but it also completely stopped the leaking. I don't know what the stuff is made of but it works like magic. I won't use anything else. It's well worth the $20 price tag!
