This is actually the first time I have purchased and used silicone lubricating spray over wd-40's standard lubricant so I have limited knowledge of all the differences, but I can say I am strongly leaning toward sticking with this, no pun intended honest. First, I have used many other permatex products from sealants to gasket making and i trust this brand 100% which is why I chose this brand to try this type of lubricant, silicone. Second, I did several in home tests to compare the two because lubricants are so important in protecting your investments. For instance, using the wd40 on one hinge Permatex on the other, wd40 on one wheel/axle Permatex on the other and so on. This silicone spray wins. I am sold on silicone lubricants and will be using the wd40 less and less around the house and on the job. Mainly, it is much cleaner and in addition to that it seems to last a little longer and lubricates a little better. The ONLY con to this is the spray method which may or may not be the only option. It is not as concentrated and a little too powerful. That being said the good outweighs the bad significantly.

Excellent product. Performs as advertised.

A light spray across the aluminum threshold silenced the squeaky, groaning gasket when the door was closed! Invisible when applied, and each treatment lasts 1-2 months!

I like that this lubricant does not attract dirt and lubricates really well. My patio door was opening ok but dragging when closing making it hard to close. My sister commented how hard it was to close. I vacuum and clean the track regularly but did find some debris and dog hair. After removing the debris and vacuuming the track I applied the spray and opened and closed the door several times. It slides like a dream now!! It’s so nice to be able to open it easily and not struggle to close it. So far so good. I had used another well known lubricant in the past and it attracted dirt and the track had a black buildup. I’m assuming this is from the dirt being attracted to it. I thoroughly cleaned the track even getting under the covered area using a long skewer with a q- tip taped onto the end. Since applying this spray I see no build up and now the door glides closed like a dream!

What I liked most was that it's not smelly like WD-40. This one had hardly any odor. Used it to lubricate belt on threadmill and sprayed it on ski bindings before storing for the summer. Also great for the shredder, but it's really flammable so be sure to wait a few minutes before using. I didn't wait, and the shredder blew up--a spark must have ignited the fumes. Had to go buy another shredder.

This stuff feels like it works well, fixed a squeaking door hinge on my car and used to lube the weather tubing. I wish it was a little cheaper, of course, but very happy so far.

Nice foaming agent with good lubricating properties, perfect also for rubber/bushing areas.

Great product recommended

Works fairly well. Expected more of a liquid spray than a foam spray - can make it harder to get into certain areas, wasting a decent amount of product. Does lubricate well and has been lasting on items that are in constant use.

It is clear the percentage of silicone in this product is high. You can smell silicone. It doesn't dry instantly when you spray as other products which probably means it has a better lubrication effect. I will monitor lubricated items for some time and hopefully give five stars.
