Yep, there are lubricants listed in the ingredients, but the stuff it actually leaves behind when the volatiles are gone is mostly good at displacing water (as the article points out.) Very little in the way of friction reduction.
It also makes a superb bug killer, especially in combination with a barbecue lighter.
Interesting use case. lol. I use it to remove sticker residue from the insufferable companies that use stickers on their products attached with super-glue like adhesive.
Using the sticker itself, along with some patience, usually does the trick. But yes, every time I bump into the worst offenders I always feel tempted to just keep sending their product back as damaged until I get a sticker that comes off clean.
I hate that. In particular, there is a special place in hell reserved for businesses which put those stickers on books. It's almost impossible to get some of those stickers off without leaving residue or harming the paper.

Does it work better than something like Goo-Gone?
