Dimethicone on Silicone?

Basically the title. Does anyone have experience using dimethicone based products or pure dimethicone (lmk if thats absurd, lol, im a noob) on silicone products?

I have a hood from FeturaX im want to shine but I don't want to buy their own shine oil because of international shipping costs

But their oil is dimethicone based, supposedly, so how safe is it on silicone?

How To Store and Maintain Silicone Hood?

Basically the title

i have a silicone drone hood from FeturaX and its my first one so im overthinking how to take care of it, lol.

i kept the original ziploc-type packaging to keep it protected from dust, and rn it has a towel stuffed inside of it so it keeps its shape (per manufacturer instructions)

But what else should i do? The care guide says a foam head could be good for helping its shape, and i imagine it'd be better than the towel, but i worry about a foam head breaking while i try to take it out of the hood.

Also- im wondering if I should get a couple silica packets to toss in the bag for extra moisture protection?

All recommendations welcome.

Shining Oil For Silicone?

So I recently bought a silicone drone hood from FeturaX and I'm obsessed with it

It looks pretty amazing straight out of the box, but im also thinking about buying their shine oil

Ofc, i don't necessarily want *their* shining oil, because its international shipping, but there's no ingredient / chemical details on their site so i cant easily find alternatives

Plus, when i look up "silicone shine oil" or even "shining oil for silicone" my search engine just shows me silicone *based* shiners which i worry would just dissolve it

should i just buy the oil from the hood's brand or are there cheaper / more local alternatives?

Also, this is my first piece of silicone gear, so any care tips would be welcome :3
