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.

Hi
I also find it interesting to see the following app note:
http://www.stabilant.com/appnt32h.htm
I have never seen the problem they are talking about and
I have a sea going sail boat. According to their note,
this should be the worst condition. Makes me wonder
what I might be doing that is different than what
they are doing?
Are you cleaning periodically with the silicone? Perhaps
you're cleaning it often enough to prevent the silicate
from forming...
