Liquid Wrench Silicon Spray?

Is Liquid Wrench Silicone spray O.K. to use as the silicone spray for my
new window gaskets after the gaskets have been replaced?

I have read to open the windows after a few hours and spray the new gaskets, shut windows and then in a few days to open the windows and wipe down the excess silicone.

If this is not the correct silicone spray, could someone please tell me a correct brand that would work.
Thanks
Jane

I used the same and it worked well for me. Also works well for the awning arms, door hinges etc.

Airstream recommends 303 protectorant for the window rubber on all new units. I use it and it prevents the windows from sticking to the rubber. The silicone spray you mentioned will work fine also,. It's a good product and as mentioned earlier has other uses as well.

I sprayed our window gaskets with Teflon mold release. No sticking after that, although, I suspect this has no affect on preserving the rubber (not sure any aftermarket product actually helps much).
