the owners manual says someting like dielectric grease i think.

I'd wipe it on, then kinda 'buff' the excess off.

Personaly, I've used interior vinyl/rubber dressing on mine a few times, after cleaning them with Crazy Clean (properautocare/autogeek/etc have it i think)
water could suffice though.
