We never noticed any difference between brands. I almost think the silicone
fluid itself its what does it. Its not too expensive, and its nice to keep
under the seat or such for emergency use.

Subject: [MV] Pure Silicone Spray as a starting fluid.
You use to could use WD 40 as a starting fluid but then they changed the
propellant and it quit working. I wonder if this is the same or if the
silicone is what is burning? If it is the propellant it might very from
brand to brand.
