I'd be using the silicon spray, WD 40 will degrade the plastic components over time.
Always use this on my 700 Grizzly and trust me it gets its fair share of mud/ water exposure...
Usually use a cheap tyre shine (active constituent is silicon), can usually pick up the $2 cans from supercheap, great for the plastics and rubber components.
Just spray a full can all over the bike/ everywhere except for the seat of course.
Once dry, wipe over with a soft rag to remove runs and gives a great shine, bike will look brand new.
Have used this method on all my bikes for years without issue.
