Mike,

In my humble opinion, no WD-40 on my airplane, oil on linkages sparingly, do not over grease bearings ( a little dab will do it, more will retain heat. Dissimilar metal junctions a dab of anti-seize. Metals that gall Al, SS a dab of anti-seize. No hydrocarbon spray over styro-foam cores even painted ones. Soap designed for high end cars or airplanes. No Windex or ammonia products on the canopy. Bugs, mist with water/one drop soap, wait 2 mins, wipe with micro-fiber cloths from Costco. Regards, Charlie Johnson Ogden, UT

I understand WD-40 (and many other petroleum based products) can prevent fiberglass adhesion. I also know petroleum products can dissolve foam, and many anti-seize products are petroleum based. Based n those issues, what is the best product for our purposes? Do we use a different product around foam (eg: torque tubes) and in front of the firewall (sparkplugs)? Thanks for any ideas and esp. experience -- Mike Perry
