If you cannot wait and want a cheaper option, try Tescos Bumper & Tyre Spray at £2.
It works far better on door seals than it does on tyres and bumpers.

I have found that silicone on rubber and plastic seems to bring back the shine and colour almost as new.
I have a silicone cream I use for tyres and rubber, and I think it helps.

But it'll cause awful fisheye problems if you spray anywhere near it in future and the prep isn't 100%
No silicone near my car if I can help it!

Hi I have already stated this when it is warm a good way to rejuivinate (sp) is to use vaseline petrolium jelly smear it over the rubber seals and sit car in the sun for a few hours will be absorbed into the rubber and the seals swell no smutty comments please this was a tip from a glazier who fitted a new rear screen rubber. I have used it last summer and it works a treat. If fitting new door rubbers Scot at Scots old Rubber has very good quality door and screen rubbers for the p5 Just google scots old rubber may even be cheaper than Wadhams any way good luck

Apologies, I assumed we were talking about a finished car with dry rubbers.
If the car is undergoing bodywork then as you say, you must spray the rubbers in a separate room or better still outdoors.
I don't have a problem with a spray, just keep it a short distance from the rubber. Being a spray it gets into all the creases.
Been using it on a number of cars over the years with good results.
Ironically it is the 'Product Test' in this months Take Five.
Sonax Gummi Pflege is an excellent product.
Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care is also highly rated, but again this comes in a spray.

As milestone says, I don't think silicone is good for old rubber, as I remember years ago on a p5 that I had, the front screen rubber was like new so I started putting some autoglym silicone(green gel) on the rubber to try and keep it nice, but within months the rubber started cracking and looked awful. I've heard that peanut oil is supposed to be good, but I have never tried it.
