WD-40 stands for "water displacing". The "40" is the 40th formulation that was tried during its development. Fun fact - WD-40 was never patented so the formulation did not have to be published and thus their competitors could not copy them and sell a knock off product.

[@Brandiafinegirl62]

Thank you. Didn't know this.

[@akulkis]

Sometimes trade secret is a better way to go than patenting.

[@rightwingwackobird1389]

I work in a chemical plant. The main thing about it is a constant flow of water. There is water in pipes, water on pipes, water on the ground, water in the ground, water in the air, water frozen into literally tons of ice every day, and even water here you don't want it. Chemicals don't need a lot of water probably, but the people who work around them need lots and lots of flushing and flow in order to dillute and minimize the hazards inherent to the various other fluids. As a result, everything made of steel is rusted. Stainless won't hold up to some stuff and is too expensive to other stuff, so that's limited too. We use a product called Knocker Loose, and it blasts down into the rust and onto the metal beneath, saving countless hours and knuckles. It's not infallible, but it's pretty great.

I don't subscribe very often, but I subscribed to you a long time ago. I am not an auto mechanic, but I have been working on automotive for almost 50 years. I enjoy it when you teach me something that I didn't know or confirm something I did. This time I have something for you. By trade I am a Journeyman Wireman IBEW, a Certified Safe Technician, and a Certified Professional Locksmith. You showed to use WD-40 in an automotive lock. Where you are, it is not a bad idea. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, a hot dry dusty desert. WD-40 has an oil base that collects dust and drys to a sticky laquery film. I will use WD-40 as a cheap cleaning solvent, but then rinse it out with a greaseless lubricant like LPS1, or dry graphite, depending on what the application is. Some automotive locks use a light grease. Thanks for all the videos, have a Happy New Year, and keep your engine reved.

[@rmguest]

Love the vid! The reason you would not want to use WD-40 in door locks is that once it has dried, it leaves a residue that tends to gum up the locks' cylinder pins, causing dust to and dirt to accumulate. Far better to use either powdered graphite or dry silicone spray. One time as an experiment, I sprayed a section of steel plate with a generous amount WD and let it set for a week. When I came back to it, it had mostly dried but was still tacky with dust clinging to it. After a month it was fully dried and indeed was doing a good job of protecting the metal. However, it took a rag soaked with lacquer thinner and some vigorous scrubbing to remove it. I found that while not quite as good as battery terminal spray, WD makes a nice substitute.

I use WD40 to start my lawn mower in the spring. Remove plug, spray WD40 into cylinder, replace plug and starts first pull. By the way we used WD40 as Starting Fluid at the railroad. Safer then Starting Fluid (ether). And yes Scotty WD40 is flammable.

I have done this with propane tanks also but it does disperse water and it works great for catching walleye.

Dont blaspheme

[@johnjewell9633]

I enjoy watching and learning from someone with experience and your videos are no exception, however I do have an issue with suggesting people spray WD-40 on rubber parts, suspension or otherwise. Rubber and lubricants are not compatible unless the lubricant is silicone. I keep silicone spray around for specifically spraying on rubber components. Not only am I not a fan of WD-40 I as well as a lot of mechanics I know have a preference to ZEP 45 for rusted and corroded components!

[@bolsbolbol368]

Very cool I didn't know you could find leaks with the stuff I thought it was just for starting fires

[@GymChess]

I prefer silicone spray on bushings, etc.
