HOT DANG.....it works. I cleaned the bottom of the kitchen slide with acetone on a microfiber cloth. I didn't overdo it, just a few tablespoons on say a 3"x3" portion of the folded cloth. Cleaned the outside vertical seals and went inside and cleaned the inside vertical seals. Then wiped down the exterior side walls. I noticed the cloth dragging on the sidewalls and found some chalky residue on the cloth. Then sprayed the exterior floor bottom with the WD40 Specialist PTFE and the seals inside and out. I tried the slide and it seemed a bit better. I could pull the little exterior floor seal down and push the spray tube in there. Sprayed some more everywhere, slide got better. Sprayed the whole dang can. I'd say it is 90% better.
The seals definitely have a different look. They are shiny and not near as slick.
I still wonder if the ProtectAll didn't make them too slick.
Further info....you cannot see any of the underside of the slide from inside or outside. My other 2 slides the rollers are visible. Not this one. Chuckster and koko were on it. The bottom of the slide is slick...nothing on it.
I'll check on it tomorrow and hopefully it is good. But I do have another can of the WD40!
Thanks a lot folks. Saved my behind.
