The Top Challenges Countdown Contest was designed to honor professionals and enthusiasts who use WD-40 Specialist products to help tackle diverse projects. Boardman will receive $10,000 for his video submission showing how each of the WD-40 Specialist products can help professionals and enthusiasts get any job done right.

“WD-40 Specialist products offer specific solutions for a variety of maintenance needs,” said Tim Lesmeister, vice president of marketing at WD-40 Company. “Our fans are endlessly creative and their submissions shared how WD-40 Specialist helps them tackle challenges both at home and on the job.”
