Multi-purpose lubes and chemicals are handy to have around the home and shop, but they might not always be the best for the task at hand. Finally realizing this, WD-40 just announced five new maintenance products that they say are best-in-class.
New WD-40 Products
- Rust Release Penetrant Spray – penetrates rust 50% faster than competing products, also acts as rest and corrosion preventative
- Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant – dries fast without a mess and is waterproof
- Protective White Lithium Grease – long-lasting lubrication for metal-metal contact applications
- Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor – protects metal from corrosion for up to 1-year outdoors and 2-years indoors
- Rust Remover Soak – biodegradable and non-toxic, restores rusted metal parts back to clean bare-metal condition
Don’t worry, traditional WD-40 will still be available, presumably under a new WD-40 Multi-Use label.
If you’re looking to try out these new WD-40 specialized products, you should be able to find them in-stores quite soon.
It’s a wonder the “WD40″ brand hadn’t been leveraged in such a way before this. Sounds fine to me. Those spray caps with the captured tubes look like a good idea.
i don’t like those nozzles. just me i guess.
I’ve used the penetrant, and it definitely more ‘slick’ than normal WD. On a door in our house that has squeaky hinges I tried it, and it swings easier than it ever did. Been a while since it squeaked, too.
