I use a chunk of beeswax on the zip.
Some say talc on the neck wrist and feet
Rinse in fresh water if you go sea fishing
If you can, store on a coat hanger with the zip open to let it breathe

Hi graham,
Just to add a bit more information for you. Only use beeswax if you have a drysuit with a brass zip, if you have a black tizip zip only use silicon fluid or similar.
Also you may find it better to store the suit on a hanger but with only 10cm of zip undone. This means your zip is less likely to twist and have mangled teeth as the 2 parts will still match up
