Wd40 Is crap. Fuck that shit. It's 'ok' as a penetrating oil (PB Blaster is better) but it sucks dick as a lubricant. It's a great solvent though - it'll clean all the oil/grease out of your machine like a champ. Keep what you've got to clean bugs off your car's paint. I'll use motor oil off the dipstick before I'll put that garbage on anything I care about.

Yeah, I really don't know why they advertise it as a lubricant. It's great for a very narrow, specific purpose but all the other "do-it-all" uses they advertise are bullshit.

WD = water displacement. Iff a mechanical item gets wet it will push water out of the capillary spaces so it won't rust.

I know what it stands for. I've even used it in the past - that's how I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's essentially worthless as a replacement for actual oil/grease.

It's a passable but not great penetrating oil and a good bug remover for car hoods.

Outside of that it's pretty much garbage. I wouldn't put that shit on any of my firearms if you fucking paid me. It washes off any previous real lubricant and leaves a film that's slightly better than spit. Which very quickly turns into nothing at all.

Do what you want with your firearms - I don't care. But you'll never convince me WD40 is worth a fuck as a lubricant for anything.
