I wouldn't want that stuff potentially getting on my other gear, especially rubber and nylon.
What are you trying to get off of your D-rings?

While I agree that spraying a BCD with it would be a bad idea. One use it does have is de-rusting dive knives and other equipment of that type. Unless you drop the cash on Titanium 
How about that marine silicone spray? I would think that would be better.
WD-40 will get rust off because it's a powerful solvent.
However, I suggest alternatives such as vinegar to get off rust, because it will not stick around and damage other gear.

The food grade silicone is okay for dive gear. I would not use the boat stuff for anything other than knives.howarde:
