I have come across this a few times while doing some "research" and it would seem it's good for preserving and protecting all kinds of seals so I ordered one today to give it a go.
Say it with love, say it with flowers but never, never, say it in writing.

                                     The idea is to die young as late as possible :)

Not heard of the product and have not used it. Unlikely to either as my "research" found prices from £14.99 to £52.13 for a 100 g tube!

I have. It's good stuff and comes highly recommended. Thanks for the reminder as I need to treat both of my cars this spring.

The thing is Tony I havent got the mechanical skills that lots of members have on here to look after there 2's but simple and cheap maintenance like looking after the seals especially for a car thats not garaged is well within my limitations and in my opinion well worth doing for the small outlay involved and its fun to tinker :)

Tinkering is good John and as I had not heard of that particular silicone grease I looked at that product and the spread of prices and found it was very great. Hopefully you bought at the lower end to reap most advantage.
The only time I used a similar product was when some "VW" silicone grease came with a new Golf. Seemed a good product and got used but I wasn't convinced enough to buy more.
The Honda product as with the VW product is likely made by a third party. That third party product would be the one I would try to source and buy if I found I was keen on the Branded product.

I received this today, impressed with the packaging, the box is 280mm x 220mm x 150mm and they included a brochure and a packet of Haribo :)

I spent a quite sensual hour or so massaging the grease into all the seals, nooks and crannies, looked good afterwards.

Before and after of the top seals.

I went over all the seals I could find and going by how much of the grease I used I calculate I would be a VERY VERY happy man if I was applying the last squeeze out of the tube, I think I would be well in my 100s :)
