WD40 is getting a bit old now, was around in my apprenticeship days. But most know it better than GT85.

Well all I can say guys is that with the weight of some of your favourite tools its no wonder some of you need larger powered motors to get around :D

Believe me, the only tool you need to carry when out cycling is this......

Yes, GT85 actually lubricates, unlike WD40. While WD40 does have some uses, it's the most over-hyped, over-rated aerosol known to man.
I use my WD40 mainly for cleaning and degreasing stuff. It has amazing cleaning power my other product don't have.

When I finished, I use another product to lubricate.


For me, it's still one of the most useful spray I have

A good cheap degreasing cleaner, paraffin(can be applied via old spray bottle), stiff thin brush, and a kettle of boiling water(washes of oil, grease to leave a clean grease/oil free surface). Tricks of the trade(old school).
