I use zaino z16, its meant for tires, but they reccomend it for exterior plastics and rubbers as well.
I tried it out, but it looked really weird when it got wet, but maybe thats because it didn't have enough time to dry, which could also be because I might have applied a little to much. next time I'll try to give it a full 24 dry time, and apply more thinly. I think you can use aerospace 303 as well, haven't tried it on that stuff yet, only on dash, its nice, deepens the colour a bit.

I use silicone spray on the door and window seals, trunk and hood seals. just spray onto a rag and wipe on. let set for a couple of minutes and then go with a clean rag and wipe off any excess. it'll leave a nice dry smooth slippery finish that lasts a long time and prevents the rubber from drying out. I've tried 303 but it doesn't last as long on exterior parts subject to the weather.
just make sure you don't get it on the paint or windows, as it takes a bit of effort to remove.

If you have any Leatherique Prestine Clean for your seats, I'd recommend putting that in a smaller 4oz pump spray bottle and using that to protect the seals. It will nourish the rubber and really prevent them from hardening and cracking. It is expensive to use just for this purpose, but in the smaller pump spray bottle, you can maximize your product usage. 303 works well but you have to keep up with it. Another option is Optimum Protectant Plus.
Stay away from silicone based products, over time they will dry out and crack rubber, leather and vinyl surfaces. Most silicone based products are a no-no in the detailing industry.

Clean the oxidized rubber before treating anything, do this with paper towels/rags and diluted Isopropyl Alcohol(aka IPA, found at any CVS, Rite Aid, etc for a couple bucks.)

It is also recommend for use on door seals by the manufactures of silicone sprays. it says to keeps gaskets loose and prevents wear and cracking.
