What Sealant For Side Walls ?

Hi Folks,
Can someone tell me what sealant is used on the outside seams like where the cab meets the coach and or the access door frames ? Is it the same Dicor as used on the roof or some Silicone product ? I have a few spots I would like to clean up a bit.

Keep your rig in a different state then your silicone!! It will turn black over time. Does not remove well and nothing else will stick to it.

Clear silicone will work. Clean the area, mask it off and put down a thin bead. Smooth it over with your finger.

Run far away from silicone. Use ProFlexRV:

I'll be interested in how this works out for you. Some of the reviews and pictures were not too flattering of the product. The bulk of the reviews were positive so it just may be a few people who experienced issues.
