I've been using it for 15 years.  Mostly good results.  Make sure your brake 
cups are made from EPDM rubber.  this may be hard to confirm.  Also anyone 
with a vacuum booster should avoid silicone, as if you break a diaphragm 
silicone is sucked into the engine and burns into silica sand which is 
abrasive.
