Get a silicone spray lube it will stay forever and work much better.
>It all depends on how bad it is. I use my ROS (random orbital sander) with 220 and then follow that with 400 then 00 steel wool.
220 grit seems a bit excessive. If you had a think caked-on layer of iron oxide on the surface... maybe. If it's just a light layer of rust, get some 600 grit and maybe some 1000 grit sanding discs for your orbital. Remember to throughly clean the metal dust with some type of solvent, ie alcohol, acetone, ever-clear (not even joking lol)...
Then... once its squeaky clean, hit it with some protective film. I use and aerosol dispersed Dry Lubricant with Teflon for a SUPER slick finish. You could also use BoeShield T9 witch is another aerosol that will leave a nice dry waxy film. if your not into aerosols, try good 'ol Paste Finishing Wax

Haha no. Not lube made for silicone, but lube made from silicone.
You can get silicone lube as an aresol or as a gel like petroleum jelly

I wouldn't recommend WD-40, it attracts dirt and can lead to more problems sooner, it was originally a polish. I'd recommend a lubricant, like 3 in 1 Household Oil, or a silicone lubricant.

I love it. I run it right after the flash, and iron the underbase.
It knocks all the fibers down extremely well and then makes the over print look flat, or like satin. Very cool.
You’ll have to basically double the recommended settings.
I run mine on a higher “squeegee” pressure, a lower squeegee off set, and a higher temp. Other wise it was just not very effective.
The tech support basically told me those settings were a CYA and you need to exceed them to get a good press.
Oh, do yourself a favor and order some Teflon spray off amazon right now. It has to have so ink doesn’t stick to the underside off the sheet.

I've using this to lube as I've had it long before modding switches: DuPont Lube
Most people use something else, but this has worked well for me and others.
You may be fine using what you have, and you may be fine using the one you just linked to... It's hard to say. The main things you want to watch out for is it eating plastic/rubber portions of your gun (i.e., what the internals are made out of).
This is what that company recommends for airsoft guns
I don't know for sure that the one that you have currently won't hurt your gun, but if you keep it strictly to the rails (assuming the rails and slide are both metal) you should be fine to use it. I'm not familiar with what products are located in the UK but I'd check your airsoft retailers over there and see what they use or recommend.
In the US I use this spray for 90% of my lubrication and it is sufficient, however, not all silicone sprays are created equal and some will eat plastic due to the amount of acetone present in them (this is what the styrofoam test is good for). For the remaining 10% (that is, gearbox gears), I use white lithium grease as it is a heavier weight lubricant, but not something I'd recommend for the slide of any GBB. Stick to silicon oil or spray if you can for that.
I hope that helps!
You can try getting a can of silicone spray and spraying the entire window track. Move the window in the down position and coat the track the window slides starting at the top to as far down as you can go. Move the window up and down 5-10 times. If there's not an immediate improvement after that, replace the window motor assembly.

Teflon or Teflon/Silicone sprays kick WD40s ass all over the place. Here's some DuPont brand on Amazon, but HD/Lowe's sell other brands in store. Like $4-5 a can and that shit lasts forever.

As someone who picked up a Daytona around November 2013 I've quickly learned the following:
How to Rhop - Daytonas have a proprietary hopup and bucking so any hopup mods are DIY. Buy spare hopup buckings from Tony.
Lubricant - Accept no substitute. Easy to apply before and after a full day of plastic slinging.
Take it apart and identify all the O rings, check them periodically. They will be the first thing to go out if you don't maintain it.
I also use rust protection gun oil and linseed oil on my externals to keep them protected from the elements.
