Default Shin-etsu grease

I'm going to try and stop my leak from the window seals this weekend.

Read a lot of threads about using shin-etsu grease on the seals but can someone tell me where I can get this (is it just Honda dealers who stock it ? - local Halfords definately don't). And is there a particuar grease I need or do I just ask for shin-etsu and they'll know what I'm talking about.?

Thanks

I recently ordered some and searched for 'Shin-Etsu Part Number' before ringing my local stealer.
