on the basis that shiny = fasterer than matt, baby oil would erode the plastic but silicone oil would be the more sensible solution for making things shiny - but I suspect the amount is probably small....
I have seem people smothering themselves in baby oil at races before so wondered if this was material or just a waste of effort!
