Great for things that are sticking a bit like the catches on lockers. We use it often.
(Not oily like WD40)

In their wide product range WD 40 do sell silicone spray ........I've got an aerosol in the garage, but not at Lidl price unfortunately.

Graphite spray, to add to your confusion is good for door locks, as it PTFE spray, both dry to a NON oily lubricant.

Also great for lubricating your chain saw for when the damp in the caravan has gone too far, and you have given up the will to chase CRA 2015.

Thanks for all the replies. I have a can of it that I use for the toilet and tank draining taps. Never having had an awning, I hadn’t thought of that option. Will bear it in mind. I thought perhaps there might be further uses of which I was unaware.

I certainly didn’t get it at the Lidl price, but it lasts years.

If Lidl don’t have any Screwfix have a 200ml can for £3.19 or a 750ml trigger bottle for £6.50.

When I open my outside lockers, it says to periodically treat the rubber with silicone - do I just spray it on and rub it into the seal

Yes that’s fine.

I prefer a non silicone spray,the reason being if any paint work ever needs a repaint then it can be a time consuming job to totally remove the silicone,the result of contamination can be "fish eyes ..small bulbous circles" in the repainted surface,I use pledge or similar silicone free spray

If there is a chance of overspray reaching the surrounding paintwork, I would face away from the caravan and spray some onto a sponge , then wipe the sponge around the seals to transfer the goodness.
