    Meguirers is the go. Silicon????? Don't think so. It's a lubricant not a paint restorer.

    Forget it, wet paint of most sorts runs away from even a few stray moycules of silicone.

    Literally, it won't go near it. Vast fields of pinholes.
    Silicone is a major concern in any paint shop. No issue with silicone on painted parts, but big issue on parts to be painted. Remember wax's contain silicone and polishes often don't.

    Oh and the correct term is fish-eyes. Pinholes are reserved for holes in polyester filler.

    My fairly high use of silicone on my bike is the reason I never take it to work, as I'd have to hate myself and so would my workmates

    keep the silicon away from the bike, even the mist can get on your tires and make them slippy as hell, plus it attracts the dust so quick and is greasy and gets everywhere

    Yeah Meguiar's make some awesome products alright, but a shame they don't invest more in their crappy brittle packaging.
