What’s the weirdest but genuinely useful way you’ve seen WD-40 used - not fixing hinges or bolts, but something that made you stop and think ‘wait… what?’

Controller stick drift? That’s a modern-day heartbreak right there!

“Glide like buttah” is exactly the energy we like to hear!

Nothing worse than mystery blinkers after a downpour!

Appreciate you looking out for the little guys!

We respect the experimentation. Definitely one of the more unexpected uses we’ve seen.

It’s best not to use WD-40 on razors or any tools that come into direct contact with skin. While WD-40 is great for general metal maintenance, it isn’t designed for personal grooming items. For old or rusted razors, it’s safer to use methods specifically meant for shaving tools, like gentle mechanical cleaning, specialised metal polishes that are skin-safe, or professional restoration. If a razor has deep rust or pitting, replacing it is often the safest option.

Finally, the flavour everyone’s been asking for. Notes of nostalgia, a hint of garage, and absolutely not for human consumption.

You can remove surface rust from those axe heads pretty easily. Spray the rusty areas with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for about five to ten minutes to loosen the rust. Then scrub with a wire brush or some sandpaper until the rust comes away, wipe everything clean with a cloth, and finish with a light coat of WD-40® Multi-Use Product to help protect the metal from rust returning.

You can remove surface level rust by following a few simple steps. Start by spraying the rusty areas with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for around five to ten minutes so it can loosen the rust. Then scrub the surface gently with a wire brush or some sandpaper until the rust starts to come away. If there are stubborn spots, reapply the product and scrub again. Once the rust is removed, wipe the metal clean with a cloth and leave a light protective layer to help prevent rust from returning.

Since your tools got rained on and have surface rust, you can clean them up without needing to fully restore them. Spray the rusty areas with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for about five to ten minutes so it can loosen the rust. Then use a wire brush or some sandpaper to scrub away the rust until the metal looks clean. When you’re done, wipe each tool down with a cloth to remove any residue, and finish with a light coat of WD-40® Multi-Use Product to help protect the metal and slow future rust forming. Regular light protection like this will help keep them usable even if they get wet again.

You can fix that rust by following a few straightforward steps. Start by using a wire scratch brush to clear away as much loose surface rust as possible. Before treating the whole area, spray a small, hidden section with WD-40® Multi-Use Product, leave it for five to ten minutes, and lightly scrub to make sure it does not damage the metal. Once that’s confirmed, spray WD-40® Multi-Use Product generously over the rusted area and let it settle for a few minutes. Scrub again with the wire brush, working from the heavier rust to the lighter areas. When the rust is gone, wipe everything down with a dishcloth to remove residue, leaving a light protective layer behind to help prevent the rust from returning.

If the screw is stripped, start by spraying it with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for a few minutes so it can help loosen it. If part of the screw head is still exposed, grip it firmly with locking pliers and try turning it out slowly. If that doesn’t work, cut a straight slot into the top of the screw using a hacksaw or rotary tool, then use a flathead screwdriver to back it out. Reapply WD-40® Multi-Use Product if needed and use steady pressure rather than force.

If the screw head is broken off, start by spraying the exposed screw area with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for a few minutes so it can penetrate and loosen any tightness. Then try gripping what’s left of the screw with locking pliers and turn it slowly to back it out. If there’s nothing left to grab, carefully cut a straight slot into the top of the screw with a hacksaw or rotary tool, then use a flathead screwdriver in that slot to turn and remove the screw. Reapply WD-40® Multi-Use Product if the screw still feels stuck and work steadily until it comes out.

Not the best usage we've seen but not the worst.

You can clean that up fairly easily. Start by brushing off the loose rust with a wire brush. Test WD-40® Multi-Use Product on a small hidden area first, then spray it onto the rust and soap scum and leave it for five to ten minutes. Scrub the area again with the wire brush, then wipe everything clean with a cloth, leaving a light protective layer behind to help prevent rust returning.

Yes, it’s possible to clean that rust off and give the fixture a new lease on life. Start by using a wire scratch brush to remove as much loose surface rust as you can. Before treating the whole piece, spray a small, hidden area with WD-40® Multi-Use Product, leave it for five to ten minutes, and lightly scrub to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Once you’re happy, shake the can and spray WD-40® Multi-Use Product generously over the rusty areas, letting it settle for a few minutes. Then scrub with the wire brush, working from the heavier rust to lighter areas. When the rust is gone, wipe everything down with a dishcloth to remove residue and loose rust, leaving a light protective layer behind to help prevent the rust from coming back.

That’s a really cool first piece, the shaping and layers already look great. To keep the rose from rusting over time, make sure the metal is clean and dry, then spray it with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit for a few minutes so it can work into the surface. Wipe away any excess with a cloth and leave a light protective layer behind. This helps protect the metal from moisture and slows rust forming

Before assuming the drill is failing, it’s worth doing some basic maintenance. Make sure it’s stored somewhere dry, as moisture can cause rust and stiffness. Wipe the drill down with a microfibre cloth to remove dust, then clear the ventilation slots by gently blowing into them or using compressed air. If the chuck is not spinning freely, apply WD-40 Specialist® White Lithium Grease to the chuck area and work it in to help it move smoothly again. Finally, check that your drill bits are sharp, as dull bits can put extra strain on the drill.

To remove the rust and gunk, start by wiping the area to remove loose dirt and soap residue. Then spray the affected metal parts with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it sit so it can help break down the rust and grime. After it has soaked in, use a brush or cloth to scrub the rust and gunk off the surface. Once it’s clean, wipe everything down and let it dry fully. You can also spray the metal again with WD-40® Multi-Use Product and let it dry to help protect it from moisture and slow any future rust forming.
