This is the MOST COMPREHENSIVE explanation of WD-40 and silicone based products that I have heard so far. Concise and to the point without all the BS. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much. I know I personally get annoyed with un necessary rambling so I did put in a bit of effort to editing it out. So yer I'm glad it's appreciated :)
thank you so much for the explanation, I was little confused where to use wd40 and silicone spray. looks like I will use break cleaner and silicon spray combo
ı try break pad cleaner on my car and motorcycle, it stopped squeaking noise on motorcycle disk but didn't improve anything on my car. look like silicone spray is way to go :)@@suburbangardenshed
I'm not an expert in fishing or winter temperatures, but I believe there may be specifically designed sprays for that (Reel Magic or waxes). But Ill admit this is something that I have not really researched.
1. Cleaning --> WD40 (you can most likely use breaks cleaner to degrease stuff insead) WD40 was for a long time basically the cheapest stuff that´s it. 2. Lubricating --> fine machinery oil 3. Sealing --> silicone spray (rubber gasket around car doors for instance, basically winter proofing the vehicle so the seals are clean and don´t stick)
It wont harm the headlight, but there are plenty of better options including protective substances that are specially designed to stick to the type of plastic that the headlight is made out of. Personally I have purchased UV protective film which I just put over my headlights.
It may cause a little bit of smearing or streaking if there is enough of it on there. But watered down isopropyl alcohol or your car general window cleaners should be able to get it off.
About an hour should be fine so long as you are not living in a humid environment. Also when applying the sprays it doesn't hurt to turn the key straight after spraying so the silicone spray can get into all parts of the lock.
What do you recommend for a sliding glass door? The metal wheels may be rusty or dirty but the door cannot be removed from the track. A repairman suggested a dry lubricant because it will not attract dirt. Do you agree?
I'll be honest and say that I don't know that much about dry lubricants yet so it's something I'll have to research. I did see that it's specifically designed to not attract particles. With out using dry lubricant my plan would have been silicon spray but I can't say confidently whether dry lube or silicon is better
A trick I've used to save 10"s of thousands of dollars in machinery. Especially when compressed air runs in it. The compressed air hold humidity which in turn causes rust and premature wear on cylinders and bearings. Use (WD40 rust REMOVER) its not conventional WD40. It creates a film that also lubricated.. I've had machinery manufacturers tell me to replace a 20k motor for an issue. That I resolved with a 12$ can of Wd40 rust REMOVER. You must understand that this is relatively new technology that didn't exist 10 years ago. It's truly a game changer.
Yer some the specialist products are incredible that WD-40, CRC and Inox have engineered. Googling for an exact spray is almost a good choice before using with WD40 or Silicone. But I really appreciate that tip as I'm confident Ill be needing to deal with rust in the future.
Is dry silicone spray the same as silicone spray (I’m in uk and been recommended dry silicone spray by a US manufacturer, are they different or is it just a terminology thing?) great clarity above thank you
Really big thanks for the video, so far the only one that explains the different types of sprays thoroughly. How would silicone spray act on bike chains? Would it be an effective method of protecting the chain? Or would i be better off using a bike lube (specialized lube) ? Or its better to use a bike lube and spray silicone over it? Love the video!
No worries and glad you liked the video. Personally I would use a a specialty product for it. WD 40 have a lubricant designed exactly for bike chains. Its called WD 40 Bike Chain Lubricant and it comes in a grey can. (In Australia anyway). Also sorry for my slower reply :)
@suburbangardenshed look it up, plenty of videos on RUclips. John Ruth 🤔 I probably can't put a link here. Copy and paste this ( Heavy Duty (HD) Liquid Lanolin )
I haven't researched that one in detail but from what I know it is a solvent and it is better than wd40 in some ways (rust removal) but worse in others (degrades plastics quicker)
I don't know much about serpentine belts, so I hope it works out. At the very least at least silicone spray will not eat away at the rubber in the belt. :)
@@suburbangardenshed Yeah for sure it wont damage the belt and not the pullies as well. The only thing now I think of it is I shold have cleaned everything before spraying as the spray must have got coated on the duirt.
This was really useful. I know just enough about the topic to know you're not full of crap. :). I bought some silicone spray because I want to lubricate a plastic part that moves along a metal rail and I know using anything with petroleum would be a bad idea, but wanted to be sure that silicone spray was definitely the right choice. Now I feel confident. Thank you.

Yes I agree too
Thank you!! I knew WD stood for water displacement and that it’s not actually a lubricant, but I didn’t know much beyond that. This helps! Thanks!!
No worries :) It was really fun researching into this and the rabbit hole just became deeper and deeper.
The 40 stands for the 40th iteration of this stuff. It´s the cheapest shittiest spray ever.
Great content! Very informative ❤️
thank you :) I actually had lots of fun researching this
GT85 love this stuff.
Another great video :)
thanks Richard. I've never used the GT 85 Silicone spray before but Ill give it a try :) thanks
thank you so much for the explanation, I was little confused where to use wd40 and silicone spray. looks like I will use break cleaner and silicon spray combo
Glad you liked it. I'll be honest in saying I haven't really researched break pads yet but I'm thinking there maybe specialist sprays for that to.

Thank you! 🙏 Came across your video while researching on whether to use a silicone spray on my knives. ⚔️ Looks like it is a great idea! 💪
I'm glad you like it. Did you get up getting a food grade silicone?
Amazing, straight forward explanation of use video. Thank you! 👌
Thanks so much :)
Lo spray al silicone wd 40 specialist va bene sulla plastica con altre parti verniciate di altri colori?
My 1st Italian comment :) And yer Silicone Spray is fine for plastic

Thank you. Perfectly answered my questions.
Glad I could help :)
Fantastic video, educational and fun
Thank you 🤗
Thank you! Everyone already said what needs to be said, so I won't say more. Just letting you know that your video is appreciated.
I really appreciate that, thanks :)
great info!! thank you!
Which product to use for braided fishing line for better casting distance and in winter for proctect from water freezing on line?
I'm not an expert in fishing or winter temperatures, but I believe there may be specifically designed sprays for that (Reel Magic or waxes). But Ill admit this is something that I have not really researched.
Excellent vid….thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!
Cheers! Glad you found it helpful.

@@suburbangardenshed Thank you, I only came up with it after watching your video, you gave me the idea, well done in the video mate, cheers.
Can you use silicone spray on headlight? To keep them clear?
It wont harm the headlight, but there are plenty of better options including protective substances that are specially designed to stick to the type of plastic that the headlight is made out of. Personally I have purchased UV protective film which I just put over my headlights.
If a little bit of WD-40 silicone spray got on my windshield is it bad?
It may cause a little bit of smearing or streaking if there is enough of it on there. But watered down isopropyl alcohol or your car general window cleaners should be able to get it off.
So how long do you wait to spray the silicone after you use wd40 on hinges to clean?
About an hour should be fine so long as you are not living in a humid environment. Also when applying the sprays it doesn't hurt to turn the key straight after spraying so the silicone spray can get into all parts of the lock.

Awesome! is the wd40 silicone version the same as regular silicone spray!
Yes, correct
Is dry silicone spray the same as silicone spray (I’m in uk and been recommended dry silicone spray by a US manufacturer, are they different or is it just a terminology thing?) great clarity above thank you
They are similar but slightly different. (so its not a terminology thing) Dry silicone leaves behind a layer that is less sticky and faster drying. :)
@@suburbangardenshed Thanks, amazing 👍
Wonderful information and entertaining video! Thank you for teaching us. 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!

What about Silicone vs dry PTFE spray, the final battle?
That's a great idea for a future video. Thanks :)
Lanox is awesome 😎
Ive never used it, but is it just a stronger version of Silicone Spray?
@suburbangardenshed look it up, plenty of videos on RUclips. John Ruth 🤔 I probably can't put a link here. Copy and paste this ( Heavy Duty (HD) Liquid Lanolin )
@@suburbangardenshed Inbox LANOX MX4 rust proofing. Plenty of videos on RUclips.
Thanks Dude
My pleasure! :)
what about RP7?,
I haven't researched that one in detail but from what I know it is a solvent and it is better than wd40 in some ways (rust removal) but worse in others (degrades plastics quicker)
very good
Thanks
Thank you
You're welcome
based on the video I just used silicon spray on the serpentine belt adn all the pullies. lets see what happens.
I don't know much about serpentine belts, so I hope it works out. At the very least at least silicone spray will not eat away at the rubber in the belt. :)
@@suburbangardenshed Yeah for sure it wont damage the belt and not the pullies as well. The only thing now I think of it is I shold have cleaned everything before spraying as the spray must have got coated on the duirt.
It may slip due to this
@@theanonymoustechie The belt started ripping, but it was already ripping so not sure if it was the spray or just the damaged increased.
noice!
Avoid all sprays around paint shops of any type.
Good to know, cheers. I suppose that makes sense when I think about it :)

I'm glad you found this useful and I'm taking this as a massive compliment :)
use oil for rusty tools
cheers for the tip :)
we will see, rusted out master lock just hit it with the WD Silicon so we will see….
How did it go for you :) Did you see any brownish liquid come out after the WD 40 spray?
