shower door

[jefoss]

anyone know of any thing that you can use to "oil" a shower door, its very noisy apparantly, its not mine so i dont know the full problme but id like to go in with some ideas, apparantly wd40 and vasaline has been used.

any feedback (sensible) gladly received thanks.

Silicone spray; much better than WD40 which is actually not a lubricant but a water dispersant.

As Richard said, silicon spray or cockpit shine for car dashboards.

Silicone grease will work better and last longer than silicone spray.

Yea but experience speaks louder, if you've ever used WD40 instead of a proper lubricant the evidence is clear, you only have to rub a little between your fingers to be able to tell its not very slippy, it only contains 15% oil afterall. You'll also find that the manufacturer recommends 3-in-one for lubricating.

Oh I see, black is white huh? I've got a wife that'll argue that case.

OK, it's a water dispersant with limited lubrication properties but won't make your shower smell very nice

Edit;
Just heard that John Barry, the bloke who invented WD40 passed away the other day.
