Car just washed. Is it safe/OK to spray Duck Oil/WD40 on discs to prevent disc to pad sticking. I would drive it down road and use brakes to clear water but can't as roads sheet ice and salt!

Any other cunning top tips?!

No they don't stick but they will as I have just washed car and sprayed water into wheel to rinse. Normally I would use brakes to clear water but I can't go out as my tiny drive is an island in a sea of ice and salt!

Problem now solved as I have just been practising my H&T technique (as 'discussed' in a recent thread) driving backwards and forwards across drive and cleared water from discs

OK OK calm down you scousy lot I didn't make myself clear. Question is if Duck Oil/WD40 can be applied pre winter storage!? I can't drive down road to clear brakes of water as don't want to give car salt bath pre storing for winter.

So I suppose the question is will Duck Oil/WD40 still be acting as crash causing lubricant 5 months from now or will it have evaporated to the extent that a few jabs on brake will clear residue?
