Hi Doug
I don't clean. I get the feeling they may be talking
about silicone glue and not the grease. The oil is about
as non-corrosive as anything that I've seen.
On my boat, I use it on light sockets and any connections
I make. The only failures I've had are the original connections
made by the manufacture and previous owner. You do want to
apply it to a clean surface. Any salt covered over will still
be salt. Anyway, it make me wonder.
