Uses for WD-40 Specialist: Beyond Lubrication

When people think of WD-40, they rightfully think of a lubrication solution that loosens stuck bolts and fixes squeaky hinges in no time flat.  But, the WD-40 Specialist_® product range is much more than just lubrication. We offer a range of products, from cleaning and degreasing to corrosion inhibitors that are designed for industrial environments. Whether it’s your automotive shop or manufacturing facility, the WD-40 Specialist_® line  has you covered.

Below we will explore the diverse applications of the WD-40 Specialist products range, demonstrating their versatility and uses for cleaning, prepping, lubricating and protecting your machinery parts and equipment.

So, without further ado, let’s get started.

Rust is a constant challenge in industrial environments, whether it be a manufacturing operations or an automotive shop. To address this, WD-40 Specialist Penetrant with EZ-Reach and WD-40 Specialist Rust Remover Soak have been developed to ensure smooth and rust-free operations.

WD-40 Specialist_® Penetrant with EZ-Reach:

The WD-40 Specialist Penetrant with EZ-Reach is a fast-acting penetrant able to penetrate deep into crevices and threads, breaking down the bonds of rust that cause parts to stick together. Its flexible 8” straw bends and keeps its shape allowing you to access even the most hard-to-reach places. Use it to free stuck parts like locks, nuts and threads while providing a protective layer that prevents rust and corrosion from re-forming.

WD-40 Specialist_® Rust Remover Soak:

For more severe cases of rust, you need a rust dissolver that packs a harder punch. This is where WD-40 Specialist Rust Remover Soak comes into play. It quickly dissolves rust and restores surfaces to bare metal without the need for chipping, scraping, or scrubbing. The non-toxic and acid- or caustic chemical-free formulation makes it safe to use on most metals. Use this powerful rust dissolver to remove rust from metal tools, chrome parts, and cast-iron components like brake rotors, exhaust manifolds and machinery parts.

If you need a powerful and safe rust dissolver, get WD-40 from a retailer near you.
