Silicone sprays should go NOWHERE NEAR brakes guys!! There has been cases of detailers doing this and cars being written off. Be careful what you use on brakes guys. Silicone can contaminate the pads meaning they need replacing. No way of getting rid of silicones

Saint Steve:
I should of mentioned a disclaimer  :signLOL:

So does that make wd40 ok to use then? As it doesn't contain silicone Jay?

MattPoss:
I looked at the back of a tin of WD40 the other day, said it was great at making alloy wheels shine :laugh:

No not at all Steve! Stick to the sky dishes and you'll be right!

Lubricants of any nature will break down brake pad materials and contaminate them. Even though WD40 is silicone free it will still contaminate the pads and if they were mine, id be replacing them.
