FAQs
Can I use this silicone spray on car tires?
Yes, it can be used on tire sidewalls to protect the rubber from drying out and cracking. However, it should not be applied to the tire tread as it can reduce traction.
Is this product safe for all types of plastic?
It is designed for most plastics, but it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as some sensitive plastics might react. It is particularly good for revitalizing faded trim.
How often should I reapply the silicone spray?
The frequency of reapplication depends on environmental exposure and usage. Reapply as needed, typically after washing or when the protective effect seems to diminish, to maintain optimal results.
Can this be used as a lubricant for metal sliding parts?
This product is not intended for lubricating metal-on-metal friction. It is designed for protecting rubber and plastic, and for lubricating non-metal moving parts like seat belt rollers or sliding rails.
Will this spray protect my motorcycle exhaust from rust?
Yes, it provides a protective coating against corrosion for metal parts, including exhaust pipes, helping to prevent rust and maintain their appearance.
Does it leave a greasy finish?
The spray leaves a non-staining finish and has an anti-static effect that repels dust, rather than a greasy residue.
Can I use this on fabric convertible tops?
Yes, it is suitable for impregnated folding roofs and hoods, providing protection and maintaining their condition.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or clogged nozzle
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly. Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If persistent, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent, then rinse and dry before reattaching.
Product leaves a white residue or marks
This may indicate overspray on porous surfaces or excessive application. Wipe away excess immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If residue is dried, try a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Reduced effectiveness over time
Environmental factors can degrade the protective layer. Reapply the spray periodically, especially after cleaning the treated surfaces or after exposure to extreme weather conditions.
Plastic or rubber appears to be damaged
Although designed to protect, certain plastics or rubber compounds may react differently. This is why performing a spot test is crucial. If damage occurs, remove the product immediately with a suitable cleaner and discontinue use on that material.
