Light duty lubricant compositions containing volatile silicones are prepared which when applied to metal surfaces show improved penetration and spreadability. Preferably, the composition includes a volatile silicone fluid, a hydrocarbon solvent such as mineral spirits, a lubricating oil soluble in a hydrocarbon base such as hydrocarbon oils and optionally a corrosion inhibitor such as petroleum oxidates. An aerosol propellant is contained in one preferred embodiment of the light duty lubricant composition. In an additional preferred embodiment, a method of freeing frozen or corroded parts with a light duty lubricant composition is disclosed. |
