    I don't think there any bad ones. I grew up on Liquid Wrench, way before the newer aerosol stuff was available. Liquid Wrench worked good back then, so I've just never changed. Still using Liquid Wrench, just from a different type can. All are advertised to be the best, I wonder what Consumer Reports may say?

    WD-40 has a relatively new "liquid penetrant" version. I used it when I did my TSX's LCAs last month. It seemed to work OK, but it would have been nice to see how it stacked up against Liquid Wrench. (By the way, my next penetrant purchase will be Liquid Wrench...lol)
