Judging from some of the posts in this thread that there is some confusion over the WD-40 and this might be down to the product I have been using not being available worldwide yet, who knows. But to aid understanding of what I'm talking about, here is a picture of the 2 types of WD-40 that I'm aware and they have completely different uses.
Yes, deciding to make your brand name the same as the first product you produced (Water Displacer No.40 or whatever for the US military) is bound to cause this sort of confusion.
I've seen it happen several times in different threads now.
It makes it very important to quote the
entire product title every time you mention it. Just saying WD40 is likely to make a horrible sticky mess of the equipment of the uninitiated.
From what I can see on their website, they also make various mechanical lubricants, penetrating oil, various degreasers and carburetor/throttle body cleaners (actually those last two might help with the cleanup of the first mess!) etc. all under the prominently displayed WD40 name.
