30 Brilliant Uses For WD 40 Who Would Have Thought


WD-40 is not just a dissolver used for loosening rusty screws or squeaking doors. This magical “lubricant” is actually good for so many more functions than we have ever thought possible. We are talking about dealing with issues of getting chewing gum out of your hair, to protecting your ever so precious bird feeder from furry intruders. WD-40 is so versatile that more and more uses for this product keep popping up all over the show, and there’s no sign of this slowing down. Just like duct tape, even the creators didn’t realize just how creative consumers would get with their product.

What most people don’t know is how this product got its name. Well, for starters, don’t expect a story to put your kids to bed with, instead prepare for something interesting. The “WD” stands for “water displacement”, which is what the creator, Norm Larsen was aiming for when he created the product in 1953. And the “40”, well let’s just say that it’s the 40th formula… whatever that means. The product is run from and created in San Diego, California. There’s a rumor that staff don’t ‘stick around’ too long… har har, ehem. Sorry about that.
Most of us don’t even know what goes into this wonder product, but does it really matter? Will it really change our lives if we knew these technical details? Who of us actually knows how radio waves work, or how electricity works, for that matter. The examples have the potential to go on forever. All we need to know is that it does work and that the product is reliable. Even the inventors and manufacturers don’t believe it’s necessary for us to know how these things work, they just want us to benefit from them, and we sure do.

So whether you are a cyclist or a motorcycle enthusiast, a grade school teacher or a carpenter, a rare automobile collector or a world traveler, WD-40 is always going to be your best friend, because there’s a great chance you don’t even know about all its benefits. So without further ado, let’s get into the endless benefits of WD-40. Trust me, you are going to be surprised by most of these ideas. But as they say, don’t knock it till you try it.

WD-40 For Shining Your Silver

When I put my silver out I want it to shine like the sun just rose from behind my candlesticks. Think I’m exaggerating? You’ve probably never seen glistening sliver candlesticks in the sun then. WD-40 does incredible work on making sure that your silver is shining like it never has before. One spray, circular motion wipes and you’re good to go.

Separating Stuck Glasses

Just last week my wife and I had a number of friends over for some drinks and mini pies (try it, what a treat). Someone mentioned a round of shots, but all of our shot glasses were stubbornly stuck together – we couldn’t get them apart. One of the men suggested we give them a spray of WD-40. We did, and they came apart like oil and water.

Shining Shoes

Oh the woes of having beautiful white sneakers. They start off as glowing beacons of footwear, but only 24 seconds later they become susceptible to the frightening underworld of dirt.

Guarding Bird Feeders

They call it a bird-feeder for a reason, and that reason is that it’s not designed for squirrels. But as we know, squirrels can’t read. Another thing squirrels can’t do is keep their balance on a slippery and oily bird-feeder. See where this is going? Good.
