I've never heard anything good about it myself. I've also experienced dashes cracking/splitting due to its use. Especially when you use it religiously and then stop. I suppose results may vary depending on the climate where you live.

I use WD40, dawn and a tooth brush or NoAdd spf 30 sunscreen. Also doubles as a wicked traction compound.

+1, this is what I still do today.
