Furniture spray.
Dear all,
just had a guy round fixing my windows. There was a problem with a metal hinge. He suggested using furniture polish rather than WD40 to lubricate it as the polish would not collect grit. How a silicate based furniture spray work on a bike? Thanks, Neil

How a silicate based furniture spray work on a bike? Thanks, Neil Yes it does. I gather much information about it and I'm ready to buy it. I guess it puts a protective film on it that does NOT attract dust. I was originally sold on the idea of GT85, but someone in Amazon said it didn't work for him. My main priority is to keep chrome rims from rusting --and price of course.

Got hub brakes?

It used to be that the turpentine transferred as newsprint would be suficient to keep the chrome on a bike shiny through the winter. Just whenever it dulls, shine it up again with fresh newspaper. Can't say it will do the same today.

Could you use furniture spray as a chain lube?

Not what I was thinking but I guess would do fine.

Seriously, I found a comment and the guy says he's been using Lemon Pledge for years near the ocean and no rust.
