Unless you're referring to a different type of silicone spray that I pictured above, it is not water soluble so it shouldn't just hose off??? It may help keep the dirt from adhering and the dirt hoses off easier but the silicone spray itself shouldn't be removed with water alone.
That is the silicone spray I use, but not all over the bike like you suggest, only as an engine brightener on the black engine parts, and leave it on until the next general clean.
I assume that your buddy coats his bike with Silicon to aid in cleaning it after a long ride. This is not unheard of. I know a couple guys that coat their bikes with Silicon spray when storing it for lengthy periods.
