FAQs

Can this spray be used on metal parts?

Yes, it can be used on most metal parts to reduce friction and prevent rust. However, it's always recommended to test on a small, hidden area first.

Is the spray safe for use on car tires?

It is not recommended for use on car tires as it can reduce traction. This product is best suited for rubber seals, plastic, and wood components.

How long does the lubricating effect last?

The duration of the lubricating effect depends on the application and environmental conditions. For optimal performance, reapplication may be necessary periodically, especially in high-friction or exposed areas.

Can I use this on electrical contacts?

The product has insulating properties and can be used on electrical parts to help protect against moisture. Ensure power is disconnected before application and allow it to dry completely.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the product typically maintains its effectiveness for several years. Check the can for any specific expiry date information.

Does this product leave a sticky residue?

The Fastcar 151 is a fast-drying silicone spray designed to minimize residue. However, applying too much product or not allowing it to dry properly can result in a slight tackiness. Wipe away any excess with a clean cloth.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is clogged

Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or a mild solvent like rubbing alcohol. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.

Lubricant is not dispensing

Ensure the can is held upright and the nozzle is properly attached. Shake the can again thoroughly.

Residue or streaking on surface

Wipe away excess lubricant with a clean, lint-free cloth. For minor streaking, apply a second light coat or buff the area gently.

Product is not reducing friction

Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry before application. Reapply the spray, ensuring even coverage.
