SwampNut Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 This is great shit. We've been using it for the bicycles being refurbished, and it does an excellent job of cleaning really old crusty junk, while leaving everything working smoothly. Derailleurs, chains, shifters that are stuck due to old grease, cables, and more. And it's pretty cheap. It's got one of the flip style nozzle/tubes with a pushbutton that you can control for light spraying, which is important for this job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon haney Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Might have to try that, but I suspect it's very similar to Tri-Flow lubricant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 I'm not familiar with it. On the lube side, this is very similar to my favorite dry lube from Dupont, but thinner. I will not be replacing that. But on the solvent/cleaning side, this is much more effective, while leaving behind a much thinner film that the Dupont dry lube. Same with the Hornady One Lube, which may be very much like the WD. I have not tried them side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 If you want to try something that's only a cleaner; CRC heavy duty pro strength degreaser. It's a bit spendy, but does a great job and goes a long way. I haven't found anything that it damages, it seems to be super mild yet aggressive on grime.

Zero Knievel Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 If the formula is different, can it still be called WD-40? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use your super legal prowess to sue the fuck out of them for daring to do such a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
