Default Silicon Spray

Anyone use this stuff? I have a mate that swears by it, just hoses off at the end of a long ride, protects a lot.

Anyone else use this or something similar?

I have tried lanolin but it smells like sheep, I will leave that to the Kiwi's..

Sounds like something kiwis would use for lube then

I've used the HD stuff. If everything's looking a bit shitty, this defintely makes all your running gear look like new again with a simple spray. Really notice it with wrinkle black parts

Many people use "Lemon Pledge", the furniture polish, because it's cheap and easy to find. Don't know if it contains as much silicone as some other products.

You don't say what you intend using it for.

Silicone Spray - I use it instead of the higher priced engine brightners - spray a little on the black engine parts and leave it on.

Be careful not to spray it anywhere near the intake - just a smell of silicone can poison the O2 sensor on fuel injection models.

Somebody please explain this silicone spray thing? Doesn't make sense to me but I do have an open mind.

So good comments on the sheep....hahaha

The spray is like a protector, it coats what you spray it on and when you get home just hose it all off and re apply it.
