Silicone spray is very good for lubricating things especially if you need it to get deep into cracks but the spray can get all over everything around what you wish to lube. I prefer saw wax over soap for lubricating aluminum windows because it isn't water soluble, won't be washed away by rain and can't corrode the aluminum as soap might. I like saw wax for lubricating the sliding surfaces of drawers rather than soap because it doesn't react with moisture in the air, damage wood or wood finishes or corrode metal.
