Does anyone sell liquid silicone that is just in a bottle, not a spray

Reason I ask is, I have been in the habit of using silicone on my car's
door gaskets, but only have it in two forms - first, as a spray
lubricant, and secondly, as a grease (Sil-Glyde) either one of which
works, but is not as convenient to apply to weatherstripping as would be
a plain liquid that one could wipe on with a rag.

BTW, it really does work, since I started doing that I haven't heard
that awful sound of my door gaskets ripping apart because they froze to
the door yet... spray silicone in the door lock cylinders every fall
too...

Have you tried Armor All? I believe it contains silicone and
won't harm paint or plastics.

No, I haven't, because of many negative reports of them actually drying
out dashboards...

As for your lock cylinders,
graphite is a much better lubricant for them.

that's a love it or hate it thing I think. Some locksmiths recommend it,
others tell you to use anything else (and usually recommend Tri-Flow) I
am more concerned with preventing ice forming than anything else,
silicone works great for that.

I've been experimenting with industrial chain lube that contains molly
to see what els it works on. I've used it on all sorts of things and
found that it works wonders. It is especially good for automotive lock
mechanisms and hinges.
