My pastor was using WD-40 as a sermon illustration of not quitting- the WD (water displacement) and 40 (number of formulations before being successful). He listed some of the "other" uses that WD-40 fans use the product for. The one that interested me the most was -leather softening. Anyone who has a F-body knows that the top of the rear seats gets dried out from the sun shining thru the rear hatch glass. The WD-40 softened the leather a noticable amount. More than any leather conditioner that I've tried. Anyone else have any good uses for WD-40?
 
Silence squeaks.



Removing goo from random objects such as stickers.



Removing pinstripping.



Removing dealership vinyl.



Lubrication between moving parts.



I use it on my lugs (very small amount) before installing/torque lug nuts. This makes removing them much easier in the future.
 
I would never be able to go in my car again if sprayed my seats with it. I hate that smell. Or did they change it? I switched to CRC forever ago.
 
+1. It works great as a tar remover. It's actually not a great lubricant though, it gums up much more quickly than a dedicated lubricant. Should be viewed more as a solvent.



WD-40 almost makes a great flame-thrower. I use it to torch trails of ants in my garage.

I wouldn't use it as a lubricant if I were you. WD40 is a solvent and penetrant, it actually breaks down grease and other lubricants. Once the solvent runs off and dissipates you're left with two pieces of dry metal rubbing against each other.
 
I had an old boss that would spray a little WD-40 in his beard before he went home after being at the strip club. The WD-40 would mask the perfume smell from the stippers and help hide it from is wife.

LOL . . . now that's a use I hadn't thought of :LOLOL
 
Another little known use of WD40 is that it removes Sharpie permanent marker ink from painted surfaces. At least it did on my washer and dryer. :)
 
Not to get off topic, but to remove permanent marker from a white board/erasable board. Take the erase markers and 'color' over the permanent marker. Wipe away. ITS MAGIC!
