I can't believe how I didn't do this earlier. Yeah, I did read about it being a PITA to get off, but when I do need a respray, I'll let them deal with it. Here is some pics I took when I got home. Car was parked outside all day and this is what a quick wipe down does...I do wipe gently though as this layer of dust is actually sand. But this would be exactly the same without the silicone except for the fact that the car would look completely hazy even after the wipe down. Thanks for the recommendation, but I have literally spent a few hundred $$ over the years and I didn't mention what I previously used because everyone has their opinion about a brand and I didn't want this to be a thread about products, just about my find with the use of silicone oil. I'll see how it goes when I wash my car again. Hopefully the dirt is removed easy and I'll see what everything looks like once I put soap and water on it and dry it off. But if there are no adverse effects, then I will definitely head back to that hobby shop and stock up. I used the 7000 cst because thats what I put in my fan clutch and it was only $8 for 50ml and I think I only used about 10ml -15ml, but they did have lesser cst like 1000, 2000, 3000 for only $4 for a 50ml. I may try one of the lesser viscosity ones next time depending on the outcome of the next wash because it may be easier to spread.
