WD-40 Specialist: A Problem-Solver For Outdoor Projects

In outdoor projects of all kinds, the challenges associated with environmental factors are relentless. Equipment and tools are constantly exposed to the elements, leading to rust, grime buildup and water damage. Luckily, the range of products provided by WD-40 Specialist_® products can help transform your outdoor challenges into outdoor victories.

In today’s piece, we explore how the use of WD-40 Specialist_® products in outdoor projects can help remove and prevent rust, clean, degrease and lubricate, all while protecting your equipment and tools against water damage.

Rust is one of the most prominent and frustrating challenges faced in any outdoor project. The exposure of metal to moisture and oxygen (also known as being used outside) results in rust formation which can cause parts and equipment to degrade or get stuck.

For removing rust on outdoor equipment, like farming equipment, WD-40 Specialist Rust Remover Soak is the ultimate choice. It quickly dissolves rust and restores surfaces to bare metal without the need for chipping, scraping, or scrubbing.

Simply place the rusted part in the rust remover soak and wait for it to dissolve the rust. For lightly rusted parts 1-3 hours should be sufficient, while more severe buildup might require overnight soaking.

For applications where rust is preventing movement of parts, like stuck bolts and nuts, we recommend using WD-40 Specialist Penetrant. The penetrant uses capillary action to penetrate deep into crevices and break down the bonds of rust.

To prevent future rusting, use WD-40 Specialist Corrosion Inhibitor.  This formula provides a non-drying layer of protection that stays where you spray it. It provides long-lasting protection of up to one year in outdoor environments and is ideal for protecting equipment stored outside like chains, locks and propane tanks.

Instead of constantly replacing parts and tools, remove and prevent rust with WD-40 Specialist products.

After ensuring your equipment is safe from rust and clean from grease and grime, WD-40 Specialist line will ensure its longevity.

Outdoor equipment and tools require regular lubrication to prevent wear and tear and ensure optimal functionality. We recommend investing in the range of high-performance WD-40 Specialist lubricants to help safeguard equipment and tools.

To lubricate outdoor equipment like outside pulleys, chains, tractors, and dozers, WD-40 Specialist Gel Lube and WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease are ideal.

WD-40 Specialist Gel Lube has been specifically engineered not to drip, so it stays where you spray it. It is spot-on for vertical surfaces and applications that require non-fling properties like outdoor chains and rollers. It also provides protection against rust six times longer than its competitors and is safe to use as a lubricant on plastic, rubber and metal surfaces*.

For metal-to-metal applications WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease is unbeatable. This heavy-duty lubricant is effective in temperatures ranging from 0° F to 300° F meaning it won't melt, freeze, or run in harsh weather conditions. It sprays on a thick coating, leaving behind a protective layer that ensures outdoor and automotive hinges, gears, sprockets, latches and guide rails remain lubricated.

Where to Buy

Outdoor environments pose severe risks to the integrity and functionality of metal, wood and composites because of constant exposure to moisture. Tools and equipment easily affected by water damage include outdoor machinery, HVAC systems and wooden structures.

To mitigate the risks of water damage on outdoor surfaces, the WD-40 Specialist Silicone is a powerful solution. It forms a water-resistant layer on surfaces after application, protecting not only metal but also non-metal surfaces like rubber, plastic and vinyl. It's clear, non-staining, water-resistant layer isn’t sticky, which means it doesn’t make a mess or attract dirt. It is perfect for protecting rubber door seals, pipes, and hoses from degradation and can even be sprayed inside vehicle locks to keep them from freezing in low temperatures.
