Cleaning Parts Effectively, And Quickly

[mad082]

WD40 is a grease remover. if you have a greased joint you should NOT use WD40 on it, unless it is seized... in which case you can help anti-seize it with WD40 but you must clean the WD40 off it afterwards and re-grease the joint.

actually it isn't. all it does is thin the grease a bit, just like how petrol or even oil will. it is actually a water dispersant. that is what the W and D stand for (well actually the D stands for displacement, but means pretty much the same thing) and the number 40 refers to it being the 40th formulation before being perfected. wd-40 is a jack of all trades, master of none. it isn't a very good lubricant, penetrant or pretty much any thing else it is supposed to be good at other than repelling water.
