James, you need to be careful what you put onto silicone because certain products (especially if they are abrasive) will eat into the silicone or damage it (you will only know about it when they burst on you or become brittle)

I use silicone spray to clean mine up. Then when they are on the car just use a chamois leather to keep them clean.
