What's better than WD40?

[kraiye]

My can of W is just about empty! I've seen a few threads mentioning products better than WD40 but I can't seem to find them again.

What do you guys recommend instead of WD40 or is it just as good as any other loosener/water disperser?


[update of list] (in no particular order):
------------------------------------------------------
Inox
Lanox
Wurth Rostoff
Penetron
RP7
PB Blaster
CRC 5.56
Ranex Rustbuster,
Chemsearch "Yield"

and possibly preceed them with brakleen (or maybe carby cleaner?) to clean gunk from dirty bolts/threads

Try silicoln spray, not saying its better but meh!

[bennjamin]

silicon spray is for a very different application !

WD40 , or any "water dispersant" is used generally for unlocking rust or crud and loosening parts. You can get cheap stuff "EXPORT BRAND" from supercheap for about $2 a can. Ive got one with good use for a many a DIY job for the last half a year. Same shit as WD40 but cheaper.

I thought WD-40 was based on Fish oil?

I don't think it's kero, but it's not much thicker. It is a fairly good penetrating oil and it does displace water, but it's not much good as a rust preventative because it doesn't take long to evaporate. It can't be fish-oil based because fish-oil is an excellent rust preventative that doesn't dry off, neither of which can be said about WD 40.

Parts sprayed with WD 40 start to rust after a while, just how long depending on how hot and dry it is. I use RP7 and Inox, and prefer them both to WD 40 for everything that WD 40 is supposed to be good for.

Inox silicone spray and lithium are good for lubricating etc.

Wurth Rost off much better than WD40, need to source thru workshops/mechanics.

I much prefer Inox over WD40 for off the shelf sprays.

INOX is better than WD40. Got that tip off the friendly neighbours.
