can i use it on regular jeans and jackets?

Most certainly. I am a professional seamstress, and I use it in anything with a metal zip. You only need a little dab in the slider, run the zip up and down a few times and it's ready.I This lube is used in marine applications, but it's wonderful with zippers, snaps, that are catching or hanging up. It's a great product.Hope this helps.

Is this product white liquid? Does it work on metal zippers?

I use it on metal snaps on our boat our carpet has snaps that stick and are hard to get off if I don’t use lub. I also have use it on plastic zippers works well

Is this safe to use on a zipper with 20D nylon? I don't want to risk my tent fabric.

Yes, you can use it on a zipper with 20D nylon. The tip allows you to precisely apply it to the zipper teeth and not on the fabric.

Will this make them easier to unsnap¿ say, in the wind?

In my experience, yes, it will help with snaps. How much it helps depends on how much of the product has worn off since it was applied and of course how strong the snap is. Not a lot of the product is needed to begin with, just a thin coating on all bearing surfaces. I renew the coating when the snap gets stubborn again. I think it helps to clean off the snap with a cotton swab before the first coat is applied and between coats thereafter.

**Great Lubricant for Zippers and More!**

I recently tried the STAR BRITE Snap & Zipper Lubricant, and I'm really impressed with how well it works! This clear, non-staining formula is perfect for keeping zippers on jackets, bags, boat covers, and other gear running smoothly. It’s super easy to apply—just spray a little on the zipper or snap, and you can immediately feel the difference. The lubricant helps prevent stuck or jammed zippers, making it so much easier to use my outdoor gear without frustration. I also appreciate that it doesn’t leave any stains or residue behind, so my items look as good as new. This product has really helped prolong the life of my outdoor equipment, and I highly recommend it for anyone needing to maintain their zippers!

Easy to use

I used to use the "chapstick" version and this one works much better and easier and cleaner. Very easy to apply on snaps and zippers.

Works Like advertised

Received my tube and immediately tried it on a sweatshirt zipper that was very hard to zip up and down. I followed the instructions and it works like a new zipper. Definitely worth the money 💰.

Smooth zippers now

Got this for my mom when we discovered some of the zippers on her clothing kept getting stuck. Worked pretty well. We would add a generous amount and let it sit for a min or so then run the zipper up and down. Pretty worth if you got stuck zippers.

Zipper/snaps lube a no brainer!

Very good product. Use it on my jacket and chaps zippers and snaps. Also on the Jeep soft top zippers. No mess, easy to use. When done just put the cap back on the tube and it can be used whenever you need it. Shelf life is good. First opened up my tube almost 2 years ago and it's good whenever I need it. Makes a big difference on zippers and snaps.

Zippity Doo dah enhancer

First the pro... it does work the zippers move more smoothly including a bulky best zipper as well as the zippers on several vintage binocular and camera cases...however the application process has some problems as squeezing the tube does not produce a smooth amount of liquid it comes out in little clumps that are difficult to work with so a fluidity upgrade would help...

Have just bought new (to me) boat which has a canvas rear awning. The zips and press-studs on this were very hard and awkward to operate. Applying this lubricant soon had them working freely and easily again. Highly recommended.

Tough to review when the product is not delivered and no way for a refund. Most expensive lubricant I have ever purchased.
