Yes its great stuff in my former life mid 70s we sprayed the inside of the distributor caps and started all the School Buses
that sat in the yard during a wet March or Oct weekend either that or just pulled the caps off and dried them out over the steam heat radiator in the shop.

I use it on the toilet seat when my wifes had too much to drink and is wobbly,just kidding,but now that I think about it........

Years ago when I was a budding welder/fabricator, I noticed the older guys DA sander that I was working (my trainer) with was dying as he was using it to buff out some welds.

I said (thinking WD40 was the be-all-end-all-lubricant) "Put some of that WD40 in it, it'll run better"

He looks as me like the green newb I was and said "WD40 is a solvent, NOT a lubricant! Watch this"

He sprayed a bunch of it into the DA where you'd normally put the oil. Then pushed it down into the sheet metal he was working on and held it wide open, not 20 seconds later the thing EXPLODED and ball bearings went flying everywhere.

Now I cringe whenever I see someone putting that stuff in or on anything that really needs oil or lubricant. Bike chains etc.

I haven't even bought a can of it since then, and that was 2000.

Awesome stuff. But, from hearing this from a body man. The stuff is nearly impossible to get off of metal to prep for paint. It saturates the metal. Soooo, words of warning. I love the stuff.

Dont like the stuff myself. Its a temporary lubricant at best used in that aspect. Its also corrosive IMO

Everything I ever sprayed with it was rusted 3 months later.

I never used it as a solvent or some of the other multiple uses listed. Back in the 70,s it was the stuff to use and I did. But after using it for many years after its temporary results, i dont use it anymore.

For removing rusty bolts I use Kroil. It may be snake oil as well but it seems to work fine for me. Blaster has a good rap to as well.

But as a lubricant, rust solvent and corrosive protection, I give it a

All those other claims of use, I have no experience with.

I think those claims of uses came After it couldnt do very well what it was first claimed to do.

You'll laugh and think I'm crazy but I've used it to get overspray off my face (applied to a cloth and wiped) Also a great tire treatment for older slicks. I've saved many a gas engine or gear box that have been in floods. It's amazing stuff but a better penetrating oil can made from cooking oil and MEK. But it's flammable . But overall WD-40 is some amazing stuff.

it makes skeeter bites stop itchin.

it would probably make them slide off........best thing for fire ants is light half your leg on fire,then when they run out, whack em with a big hammer........

also make your slicks real sticky
