WD-40

<h3>About WD-40: Over 70 Years of Trusted Maintenance Solutions</h3><p>Few brands in the maintenance and repair world carry the instant recognition of WD-40. <strong>Born in 1953</strong> at the Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego, the original formula was developed to protect missile components from corrosion — but it didn't stay in aerospace for long. WD-40 is now virtually a household name, used in numerous consumer and industrial markets such as automotive, manufacturing, sporting goods, aviation, hardware and home improvement, construction, and farming. That breadth of application is no accident: it reflects decades of purposeful product development and an unwavering focus on solving real-world maintenance problems.</p><h3>From One Formula to a Full Product Ecosystem</h3><p>The WD-40 substance is a petroleum-based lubricant, moisture retardant, and rust preventative. That deceptively simple description understates just how many jobs the formula can handle. WD-40 Multi-Use Product offers one formula with five core functions: it lubricates, penetrates, protects, removes, and displaces moisture. The iconic blue-and-yellow can — with its signature red straw — has logged an official list of more than 2,000 documented uses, ranging from freeing seized bolts to protecting power tools stored over winter.</p><p>The brand didn't stop there. WD-40 introduced the WD-40 Specialist line, a range of best-in-class specialty products geared toward trade professionals, with an initial lineup that included a Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant, Protective White Lithium Grease, and a Rust Release Penetrant Spray featuring Blu Torch&trade; Technology — a proprietary blend of synthetic additives. The Specialist line later expanded to include a Rust Remover Soak, Long-Term Corrosion Inhibitor, Dirt &amp; Dust Resistant Dry Lube, Machine &amp; Engine Degreaser, and Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray.</p><h3>WD-40 Products for the Garage and Workshop</h3><p>For automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike, WD-40 covers the most common and most stubborn maintenance challenges.
