Silicone Car Lubricant

In winter (also in summer, but to a lesser extent), it can be especially useful for a motorist silicone grease sprayas it will help you in such cases as:

• prevention of freezing of rubber door seals, trunk after washing;
• freezing of door locks, trunk, etc .;
• creak of door hinges, interior parts;
• with timely processing, it can prevent corrosion;

Let's dwell on each point in more detail and consider examples of use. silicone grease for the car.

Silicone grease for seals

Silicone grease for door seals Spray on the door seal

Everything is very simple here, if you learned from the weather forecast that a rather low temperature is expected in the near future, for example, -17 degrees, then in order to get into the car the next day without “dancing in front of the door” with warm water, you need to process silicone grease rubber seals Your doors as well as your trunk. It is enough to walk the gum with a sprayer once and rub it with a rag, there should be no problems. Well, in extreme cases, you will have to process it again more carefully.

In addition, it is recommended to treat the door and trunk locks with the same grease in the same way from freezing. If your car has door handles, as in the photo, then it is advisable to process the places where the moving part comes into contact with the fixed part, because if, for example, wet snow has passed and it has become frosty at night, then most likely the handles will also freeze after opening will creak or remain in the “open” position until they are forcibly pushed back.

We remove the creak of parts in the cabin

Sooner or later, creaks or crickets appear in every car. They can appear even in a new, recently purchased car. The reason for this is the temperature difference, naturally, plastic expands at high temperatures, narrows at low temperatures, from which it is as if not in its native place, dust gets into the holes that appear and now we already hear the first creak of plastic. There is no need to disassemble the floor of the cabin, just buy silicone grease spray with a special tip (see photo), it will allow you to more accurately and deeply handle cracks and hard-to-reach places in your interior.

Long Nozzle Silicone Spray

And also very often the seat mountings, both rear and front, begin to creak.

As for corrosion, then we can say that Silicone Grease is not a specialized rust protection agent, but it will fulfill the role of slowing down the onset of corrosion. If rust has already appeared, it is useless to treat with silicone, rust will go further. But with a new chip or freshly chipped paint, it will help. To do this, wipe the surface to be treated well with a dry cloth and apply silicone grease.

Silicone grease for car windows

And finally, let's talk about the application silicone grease for windows car. Often, owners of cars with window closers are faced with the problem that the window automatically rises to a certain point, stops and does not go further. Most often, this is triggered by the “anti-pinch” mode. Why does it work? Because the glass rises with an effort that shouldn't be there. The reason is that over time, the sleds of car windows become clogged and become not so smooth, as a result of which the friction of the glass on the sled increases and does not allow the glass to rise automatically.

To correct this problem, it is necessary, if possible, to clean the slide and spray it liberally with silicone grease, again the nozzle shown in the photo above will help lubricate the hard-to-reach places of the slide, so you don't even have to disassemble the door.
