FAQs
Is WD-40 Specialist Silicone Spray safe for all plastics?
It is generally safe for most plastics and rubber. However, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility before full application.
Can this product be used on electrical components?
While it repels moisture, it is a lubricant. It's best to avoid direct application on sensitive electrical contacts where a non-conductive dielectric spray might be more appropriate. Ensure good ventilation and drying if used near such components.
How often should I reapply the spray?
The reapplication frequency depends on the environment and usage. For regularly exposed or high-wear areas, reapplication may be needed every few weeks or months. For protection against moisture and freezing, apply before the relevant season begins.
Will this spray attract dirt?
No, the fast-drying formula is designed to dry quickly and leave a protective film, which helps to repel dirt and dust better than traditional oil-based lubricants.
Can I use this spray on metal parts that might rust?
Yes, it provides a protective barrier against moisture, which helps prevent rust and corrosion on metal surfaces.
What is the difference between this and regular WD-40?
Regular WD-40 is a water displacer and lubricant for general use, while WD-40 Specialist Silicone Spray is specifically formulated for higher-pressure, waterproof lubrication and protection on a wider range of materials, including plastics and rubber, without attracting dirt.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the straw is properly attached and not bent. Try cleaning the nozzle with a pin or a dry cloth. If the issue persists, try a new can.
Product leaves a residue or marks
Wipe away excess product immediately after application with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure the surface was clean before application.
