........I think that WD-40 might be a cure that is worse than the problem. I would suggest Vaseline or maybe olive oil instead of WD-40.

Nope, native Floridian here can tell you WD-40 since it is non toxic, natural ( actually a fish product, the lower quality fish oil NOT suited to sell retirees for their "health", is actually used in WD-40. Pam and most cooking oil sprays are fine, they will not do harm. If you've been in Florida a long time now, I am really surprised you still recommend Vaseline, but we all have our favs that work for us. Olive oil probably won't hurt your auto if you get it off the light/white cars completely. And it's a little pricey for this kind of use, but again, to each their own preference. We were brought up in South Florida to use a natural non toxic like WD, so we use that because it's worked so well, east to apply, and does not leave the residue of olive oil, or that Vaseline (petroleum) could. Never done that so not saying yea or nay.
