Back in the day Alex g would have rocked up to advise what we need,but I think he’s moved to greener pastures now, as  I’m led to believe he now lives in the Caribbean.

  Posting from non-sunny Cornwall!!

Using WD-40 or GT-85 can adversely affect the material on the carbon fibre and cause premature wear or de-lamination. This is why such use will invalidate the warranty as posters have already advised.

Dry-film PTFE spray on the other hand is totally suitable and will only help the life of the pole.

Here is a link to a suitable product - https://alltradedirect.co.uk/products/dry-film-lube-aerosol-400ml?_pos=6&_sid=d125b48a5&_ss=r

Cheers, great value too.  Just ordered 6 cans.

I too tried the WD40 PTFE and found it way too greasy after application.

I bought a dozen cans of silicon spray, cheap as chips on Amazon. Before getting started yesterday I sprayed the poles on my 18' wfp. It made a big difference and will try it for a week to see how it continually goes. Will give result at the weekend.

Make sure it doesn’t contain any oil or over time with  prolonged use it will damage the  poles , cheap isn’t always best

In reality it makes zero difference whether you use dry PTFE or one that has a bit of oil in it. I've  used both over the years and not noticed any ill effects.

So you are prepared to ignore the advice of the manufacturer then ?

I did use mr sheen furniture polish back in the day  , but the novelty did wear off for me. If i do a job that's say had a driveway re - sanded, i just think 'damnel i will have to flush the pole out after doing this'. I then just extend it fully, put it on the floor brush up, lift the base up, stick a water flow down it 30 secs and flush (if u have a outlet on the neck). If its really bad then its a strip down and wash job.

Also a little tip if you're seat belts are a little loose these days.    Just give them a spray with this stuff too.   Does the trick.

And window channels if the glass is sticking to the rubber inserts it’s a really good product

Just a little tip for you............. we're in year 2024 now. You may just wanna fully explain where you need to spray the belts, as i'm certain some people may get their clothes ruined by your life hack 

Also i'm interested in the science of how this spray tightens a belt up?

You pull the whole of the belt out and spray it on the belt as is slow retracts , it lessens the friction thus making the belt go back into the housing usually it’s the bit closer to the mechanism that needs spraying rather than the bit around your waist or shoulder
