    I use it on my quad after i wash it, spray the whole undercarriage and plastics, helps dissipate water on the engine and stuff since you cant wipe in there and makes the plastics especially black plastics look brand new again

    Not me, but my friend doesn't use an air filter on his little Isuzu Pup. He sprays the inside wall of the intake tube with WD-40, so the dirt sticks to the inside. . . lol Probably not the safest thing, but hey, it's working so far.

    If I have something that I want to look dirty and greasy, I apply WD40, and it looks like shit in no time.

    If you attach steel wool to the end of an arrow and spray it with WD-40 and light it on fire it will stay lit as it flies through the air.

    My brother shot a flaming arrow into the bonfire at my Eagle Scout ceremony.

    We did a lot of experimenting trying to figure out what would stay lit.

    In all seriousness, WD40 is my favorite garage smell. I told the wife if she wore it as perfume, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of her.

    I use WD-40 and a lighter to incinerate any spider that ends up within 10 feet of me.

    I roasted one last night on my patio as a matter of fact.

    That's awesome - reminds me of the nights I spent with my grandfather in his shop. He probably had a hundred of those cans all over the place.

    imo, wd was a great product,but theres other better alternatives in the market now..i used penetrating lube to fix the squeaking leaf springs. Also the lithium grease is great too i heard. I hardly use wd 40 anymore.
