Is it OK to use a silicone spray to restore slipperiness and remove scratches?

Yes, but spray on cloth and then apply. Direct spray on board may be too slippery and cause strain or fall.

Yes this would work to treat existing scratches on any surface, but it would than have to have a protective covering of wax over it, because it is only a light stain.

I used the silipos. It helps but barely. It mostly helps with the level of discomfort of certain shoes.

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

Absolutely! I am an old nurse, we used to pour alcohol on our shoes and wear them until they dried to make them conform to our feet. But they would dye our feet too and they were squishy until they dried. This spray allows the shoe to stretch and no dyed feet, even with dark colors. You may have to do it a couple of times, but it is so much better than the old way. I keep it on hand all the time.

Yes, you can. Silicone spray is a "dry" spray... meaning it won't collect excess dust and muck after you apply it and it dries. However, for door hinges, you could also consider using a white lithium grease (it comes is a spray also), which doesn't dry. True, it might ultimately collect a dust and grime, but it might also provide longer protection than silicone. That said, I've used this silicone spray on my door hinges and found it worked well at cutting out squeaking and making the door easier to open/close. If your car door is "VERY hard" to open (as you put it), there might be something out of alignment with the hinges that even lubrication might not completely fix.

I wouldnt recommend using the wool pads on shoes but the foam pads i dont see how it would hurt. Just be careful to maintain your heat depending on what type of material your trying to polish.

I used a product callled Sugru for the feet. It's a silicone rubber substance that is moldable like clay and then dries to a rubbery solid. I have used it on lots of stuff. Can be obtained on-line. You will find many uses for it. The pads others are using, I assume, are stick-on silicon pads, but they will not stick for long. Especially for someting exposed to moisture all the time. This will solve your problem as it did mine.

Like others said. Rub it in with bare hands. No extra heat source is needed. It will make your hands feel good too like they just had a lotion bath. I usually let the boots rest for a while and then apply a 2nd coat. Clean the excess off with a clean shoe brush and/or buffing cloth. The boots might retain a waxy/oily feel to them which will go away over time.

I need to use an abrasive cleaner. If you are trying to avoid the scratching you might try a product similar to SoftScrub with vinegar mixed in.

Yes. I found industrial strength silicone spray lubricant works great. Typically use a very generous amount and then wipe it down. You can find it any any hardware store. However, i do have to agree with Louroy, there is only going to be so much you can do with this one. To get a really smooth slide, I would upgrade to the $650-$1000 range.

Microfiber towel. (small towels from costco work well) Use your index finger and rub back and forth motion (not circles or swirls) with the same pressure for each back and forth until you think the scratches are removed or smoothed out.

I would think so as long as your using new applicator pads, and polishing rags. To be safe I would contact meguiar's to be safe. They have a full scale customer service team. Sorry, I'm not a pro.

No. I suspect if the scratch is deep enough to feel it "catch" with your fingernail that it will not help. Try something like "Dr color chip"

This skin improves the slipperiness of all Apple products, but it doesn't stop it from sliding off of surfaces. FWIW, on my MacBook, I gave up and bought (you may laugh now) the decals you use in the bottom of a bathtub to prevent slipping. Then I can grip the sides with a surety.

Yes, I am sure that would work, Just let it dry completely. I sometimes just spray on the outside of the shoe, too.
