you can buy it at any auto shop... you spary it in the channels as the rubbers tend to go hard over the years and can stop the windows from going up and down like they use to when the cars first come out... spary it on both sides and put the window up and down a few times till you are happy with it... repeat it on all 4 in a couple of weeks or so and it should help them go up and down faster. the only thing way is it get new rubbers but yeah the spary is cheaper and can applyed when ever you feel like it... i got a can of the nulon ezi-glide clear silicon lubricant which like i said can be picked up from any auto shop eg supercheap auto autobarn repco etc etc
