Totally ruin the paint job.
No doubt in my mind it contains silicone oil with the warning not to spray it on motorcycle seats.
Good way to dump off the old lady. Literally.
The only thing I have found silicone oil good for is my keyboard, and I put it on lightly with a towel.
The can should last me 500 years. haa ha
The stuff isn't good for anything, not even a door hinge. I use Royal purple's can of spray Maxfilm for that.
Carnauba paste wax is good.
I read where a lot use Pledge. Doesn't it contain many of the same things as this stuff?? Also, I believe today's carnuba waxes contains distillates and so forth as well.

I'm starting to wonder if there's anything really worth putting on a frame. I'd like to have something for paint and decal UV protection, but is there anything that really helps more than hurts?
