If by that you mean the rubber parts on the exterior of your car, I would recommend the original armor all, spray some on a microfiber cloth and apply on the rubber parts.

This stuff is thick and brings back the original shine.

Ive even used The Original Armor all

( This works the best )


I recommend using this on all your weather strippings plastic parts / rubber parts on your car So it moisturizes the rubber.

Hm.. I just used petroleum jelly aka plain Vaseline.

To be honest though, EPDM holds up VERY well on its own. The days of cracked door seals and hoses are long gone. I just use the lube for cosmetic reasons. It's good for cleaning crap off the seals.
