You don't want a "Silicone" based product anywhere near your painters shop. Does NOT make for a happy painter. If you use a good bit of Silicone based products let your painter know.

Here is a link to the Aerospace 303. I got mine at a local O'Reillys that had ordered a case to get ONE for somebody - so it was not on the shelf they had it in the case box behind the counter. So they can order it or you can get it on Amazon too..

You are 100% correct that is why I only use it on weather-stripping and the water proof plugs.

Yeah. I think avoiding spraying it on tires, ore the like should be avoided. I spray it on a rag or take the sprayer pump out and pour some directly onto a rag and then apply it to tires - to keep it from getting on the paint.

Brett might know, but I wonder if Dawn will strip silicon off of paint?
