RV Window and Track Dry Lube - Anyone Use This?

[billt460]

I saw this at Wal-Mart this morning, and bought a can. I thought I would try it on the window tracks on my truck first. If it works I'll stick with it on my other vehicles. I was going to try just plain Silicone spray, but I thought this might be better. I'm not sure exactly why. Perhaps because it has "Window & Track" on it. Anyone else use this stuff?

I was amazed to find they had RV's with power windows in 1894!

In my experience the best thing for window tracks is to remove the glass/track and get them 100% clean. Lubrication is just a temporary bandaid.

I've used it in locks, if I recall right it's likely the same product as WD-40 Dry Lube PTFE Spray.

I use it for the sunroof on my wife's Audi A4 quattro.

I have used it for window channels and it has been great. Does its job but doesn't leave a huge mess behind.

I use it on the windows in our 5th wheel camper. They always wanted to stick. I had not thought about using it in a key slot.

Based upon recommendation of a motor home YouTube channel I follow, I recently bought a few of the 3in1 rv products, including this one. I've just started using it on the windows in my motor home.

They have a different product for door locks, another for slides, and another for rubber seals. All of them have a similar claim of a dry lubricant that will not attract dirt. It makes me curious what difference there is between these products.

There's a dry lube for slides, a silicone lube for slides, and a rubber seal conditioner. All though from my experience with WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube, this RV dry lube seems to be identical, it smells the same and leaves the same waxy like lubricating film.

The TDS for this shows it is a clear uniform PTFE spray that leaves a film after it dries. I sprayed it on a sheet of aluminum and observed how most of the carrier oil evaporated within a minute, leaving a thin film that slowly dried up but still felt "greasy" although not slippery. It's definitely not silicone based.

I believe this RVCare Window and Track is more like RemOil than anything else. Rem Oil kind of does the same, come out in a lube but dries very quickly leaving a thin film containing PTFE. TDS for this 3 in 1 shows it actually has some EP capability and better corrosion protection than the silicone based sprays.

303 Aerospace Protectant contains silicones which is used for conditioning/lubricating seals, but it would always make the surface super slippery (like a silicone product).
