As a locksmith in Houston our company refused to use graphite to lubricate any lock, we always used WD40 and pointed customers toward it. Graphite builds up in locks because it is a powder, I have seen locks so full that we had to disassemble them and wash out the graphite the customer put in it. Expensive lesson for them.

[@WhiteTiger333]

@behexen250 Right on! Thank you for the time. Peace

[@contessa.adella]

Regular WD 40 is mostly intended as Scotty says….to dispel moisture and loosen rusted/stuck parts, but its lubricating properties are minimal, and in fact it will flush lube oils and greases away resulting in increased wear. So don’t use it on say bike chains - it will flush the grease from the links leaving you a lovely clean chain that will wear fast. Use real oil or better still ‘high cling’ proprietary chain lube. WD40 does work well cleaning old thick black gunge from moving parts, just be sure to use a good oil afterwards. Did this very thing on my house front door yesterday when the dead bolt latch seized solid. Inside the mech was solid with thick black aged greasy gunge…WD40 on tissue returned it to near new. Then I oiled it with light “3 in 1” and the door now operates buttery smooth. Took twenty minutes to strip, clean and reassemble…A job the locksmith would have charged well over 100 Quid to be called out for!!!

White lithium grease

[@Natures_Symmetry]

12 years Automotive locksmith here. First I got to say I love your videos. Keep em coming. You're great! Second: On locks, use WD40 with grease in it. It's a black and yellow can. It says Lithium grease on it under WD40. The reason you don't want to use the blue WD40 is because it evaporates quickly and drys off (Like the shine that fades off the paint). Leaving your lock more sticky than it was, and with all the old solidified grease and pieces of dust nesting in there, it causes faster wear on the wafers inside, as well as making you torque the key harder which will eventually break it. And if you have a car with a remote head key, it will break the blade off the plastic casing. The Lithium grease keeps it lubricated longer. And yes, absolutely no graphite in the locks people! Unless you like calling locksmiths and getting stuck.

So what's so bad about graphite? I've been using that in locks for 57 years without having any problems since it is a dry lubricant that's too soft to harm metals. Graphite also is an excellent anti-seize for spark plugs since it conducts electricity.

Hey Scotty. Instead of WD40 for underbody protection from rust, here in the Land Down Under we use lanolin underbody when we beach drive. It's much better as it stays on longer and it's a natural product, wool fat, so it doesn't cause any run off problems. We call it Lanotec.

[@liberaldisdain]

My keys were sticking in the ignition, door, etc, sometimes the car wouldn't start. Big thing that ruins ignition switches is worn keys. After decades the keys are worn, and the keys you have cut at the store are nothing but copies of worn keys. I had a locksmith come out and cut keys from the dealer code for my 23 year old Camry. He is the one that enlightened me to that fact. Cost me $250.00 for keys but now they work like new. He said it would take a week or two for the tumblers to readjust to the original key and thats exactly what happened. I was kinda shocked, but the locksmith knew his stuff. Btw, the cut of the new keys looks nothing like the cut of the 23 year old keys.

WD stands for Water Displacement. I've always used WD-40 in my door locks after washing the car - especially in the winter - to keep the locks lubed AND free of water. Did you ever have ice in the lock? In the days before remote door lock openers, this was a truly bad situation. Likewise, I sprayed it in my trunk lock and ignition switch just like you did. I'm older than you, so I've probably been doing it longer. It's nice to know that I've been doing something right, for a change.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Actually... not to be a jerk but WD-40 makes the drill bit slip on the steel. Thats why you see the chips turn blue. It creates heat. Try using the peck method. It’ll save your bits from dulling. ☮️

[@tahustvedt]

@@CamMacMastermusic That's not how cutting fluid works. It certainly doesn't make it slip. It lubricates the chip excavation and non cutting parts of the tool, as well as cools the area. WD40 is a very effective cutting lubricant for aluminium machining. Not great for steel though.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

@ J Mack Like a chicken peck. 2 seconds drilling and 2 seconds cooling.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Grumpy Modeler ... Potato-Potatoe the truth is that, mild steel requires no lube or coolant at all. Drill bits are usually made of tungsten steel which doesn’t like temperature spikes. Also aluminum is very soft and doesn’t require any lube for manual drilling. Only when you’re drilling stainless or very hard steels like it is it necessary to use lube or coolant and you can look it up anywhere and it will say WD40 isn’t recommended when drilling on these tougher steels.

[@williamkennedy7854]

Scotty, WD-40 may work fine on many mechanical applications on your car and around your house, but don't use them on your firearms if you're going to store them for long periods of time. When I was in the service I sprayed my guns inside and out with WD-40 before putting them in storage (in the care of my brother) when I was sent to England for 3 years. Upon my return to the U.S., I had my brother ship my guns back to me. After picking my guns up from a licensed gun shop where they had to be legally shipped, I was surprised upon examining them to find that the actions were locked-up and inoperable. The WD-40 had turned into a lacquer type substance which effectively glued the actions in-place (the bolts, hammers and firing pins would not function). I had to spray a strong solvent into the gun's innards to get them to work again. So, it's good in some or most situations, but not for use to prevent rust in long term storage of guns or probably with many other mechanical devices...

[@martyyoung3611]

NEVER use WD-40 on firearms. I know a gunsmith that had someone bring him a barreled action that he'd soaked in WD-40 and put up for years. He put the action in gasoline and let it soak, every morning he'd check to see if it would open. It finally opened on the sixth day.

[@dodgedude101]

dont use wd40 at all....its junk. Crown rust protection or fluid film

[@mrpoizun]

@@martyyoung3611 Sure. Like gasoline is a better lubricant than WD40. Right.

[@jasonknowles5465]

@@mrpoizun Well, WD-40 is not a lubricant. It's an oil based solvent. If left for a long period on an object with mechanisms such as a firearm, it can gunk up over time. The reference to gasoline in the previous post is also as a solvent, not a lubricant. This time to break up the gunked up WD-40.

[@billwilson3609]

WD-40 was developed for the military that wanted a coating to protect bare metals used in missiles from corrosion without adding hardly any weight. The contractor's 40th formula won the approval of the military. Rumor has it that the secret ingredient that leaves the protective film is fish oil. I only use the stuff for repelling water from electrical connectors.

[@cqmacht4513]

[@billygildark4565]

Actually if it’s a hard surface duct tape works best to remove the residue. Wrap a piece up backwards around your hand and use quick hitting/slapping motions.

[@Currancchs]

@Billy Gildark Thanks for the tip, never thought about trying that! I usually use isopropyl alcohol myself (acetone if that fails, but I try not to near plastic, paint, and other sensitive surfaces, since it can discolor, crack,remove, or otherwise damage those surfaces - my wife still hasn't forgiven me for getting a bit of acetone on our stained kitchen table, which now has a runner to cover that mistake...). In one instance though, neither isopropyl nor acetone worked, but Goo Gone Automotive did (I believe it was an old and particularly tenacious bumper sticker over a painted surface that left lots of residue), which surprised me since I thought it was mostly acetone...

I've also used WD-40 to remove tar spots from the painting in my car :)

Travel the moment . Hmmmmm and here was me thinking it is called Duct Tape but you call it Duck Tape. Can you please tell me what part of the Duck is used???

[@hitardo]

I honestly prefer Silicon Spray, which the company WD40 makes, but you can find from many other brands. Silicon spray is quite better in repelling water, does not leave the mess the original WD40 leaves behind, and it does not smell as much. Due to the silicon water repelling properties, it is quite suitable for exterior door locks, door jams, and windows. Around the house, I use PTFE spray, which the company WD40 also produces, which is quite less oily and improves friction. For example, I use it on the curtain slider, gas structs, and interior doors. You also have lithium spray, which is quite good on particularly exposed places, like on the undercarriage of your car. Fair warning: it leaves a white lithium film behind. All this to say: use the correct product for the correct application. Otherwise, you may damage or stain things you do not want.

Silicone oils can dissolve silicone products, so be careful using silicone gel to lubricate silicone hoses, for instance. In that case, it would be better to use Vaseline, but with rubber hoses, Vaseline will dissolve them and cause them to fail prematurely. WD40 is a penetrating oil and will actually cause metal to rust over time because it penetrates it, which is why there are rusty hinges on that 'Yota in the first place. The only thing I would use regular WD40 on is already rusted bolts and nuts, and even then I would not use it over P-Blaster, which is WD40's big brother.

this WD 40 made my sheds lock smooth when I was almost going to break it to open the shed. great for everything that moves and metal.

[@georgiyna2151]

I've a doubt you can use regular WD40 on rubber; it might deteriorate it in a while. Instead, use a silicon lubricant.

Please don't use WD-40 on your ignition key barrel. I used to use WD-40 on my old barrel everyone once and a while. Eventually (unawares to me) residue built up in the barrel. It no longer made a proper electrical connection and I had intermittent trouble starting my car for years. Occasionally I'd just have to turn the key over and over and just hope for the best. To the point were I had cut a new key, didn't help, and was very close to just replacing the whole ignition barrel. Eventually by chance someone guessed what the problem was, sprayed it with lots of contact cleaner, flush it right out, problem solved, it started perfectly from then on. I'm not saying this would happen to every barrel, just that the ignition barrel almost certainly doesn't need it, so why bother Tin man pic is gold btw :)

Sometimes the more honest you try to be the more people don't trust you. Iv been building and fixing hotrods, muscle cars,races cars,engines and suspensions since i was probably around 14. I bought a 41 Ford business coupe for $35 and was allowed to keep in a corner of my buddies Dads shop that was never used anyway. That gave me access to everything i needed to build it. Im 73 now still doing it to some degree.

Wd-40 works for a little while on hood/bonnet hinges and door hinges, but it tends to dry out after a while. I've used a little bit of motor oil on these parts, this tends to last longer than the Wd-40

[@mattpeneguy7812]

That's probably because WD40 is a solvent, not a lubricant...

1- Door locks are supossed to be lubbed with dry lub (silicon spray) regular WD40 kills locks mechanism with time. 2- If your suspension ball joints or bushings are making noises, use grease because WD40 tends to dry and is useless for it. For the rest, I agree with you. It works very well.

Beginning to reevaluate this guy the more I watch him

[@larryrucker]

I treat my drag racing slicks with WD40. It helps to soften the rubber and promotes adhesion. WD40 isn't just a lubricant, it is a replacement for oil based lubes. Repetitive heating cycles of the tires causes the rubber to get hard and dry. It replaces the oils found in rubber and helps to keep tires pliable. Spray some on and old tire, wait about an hour, then stick your hand on the area and check to see if it isn't softer and stickier. I know on racing tires I can almost double the life of the tire with liberal use of WD40, and also improves the traction. There are a number of traction compounds available, which may work as well, but WD40 has been a standby product for many racers for years. Hard to argue with success.

[@kylapendley924]

Scotty, there IS something that you can do to your drive bents that let them last much much longer than they should up to and including 150000 miles, the rubber treatment that you used for the suspension can be applied to the belt before you put it on your car. let the belt soak for a day in the solution and then pull it out the next day. The fibers in the belt will not be affected and will retain the structural integrity of the belt but the rubber will last and last. Do this for the belt every 50k miles and you will have a belt running forever.
