WD-40 Products

WD-40 products here start with the original Multi-Use Product, the general can for rust protection, moisture, loosening and lubrication, in 100ml and 450ml sizes, alongside GT85 Multi-Purpose Lubricant in a 400ml spray can. Five sprays from the WD-40 Specialist range complete what is on this page: a contact cleaner, a penetrant, a silicone lubricant, a degreaser and a white lithium grease.

Choosing WD-40 Products

Reach for the Multi-Use Product on general jobs, and for a Specialist can when one task needs a dedicated formula.

The original Multi-Use Product

WD-40 Multi-Use Product is the original formula, with more than 60 years history in DIY, trade and industrial markets and over 2,000 uses. It protects metal from rust and corrosion, loosens stuck parts, displaces moisture, dries out electrical systems, lubricates equipment and removes oil, dirt, grease and grime. Typical jobs include gardening tools, battery terminals, spark plugs, bike frames, door locks and hinges, power tools, engines, alloys and exhausts.

Which can size

The 701.301UK is the 100ml spray can. The 701.309UK holds 450ml and has a Smart Straw, which gives a precise or a wide spray from one can, and a 360° valve that works upright or upside down.

GT85

GT85 Multi-Purpose Lubricant (701.349UK) is a 400ml spray that lubricates, cleans, drives out moisture from electrical systems and starts wet engines. It also loosens rusted parts and prevents squeaking, for use around the home or in the workplace.

The Specialist cans

The Specialist cans are made for particular tasks: the 701.321UK cleans circuit boards, switches and electrical components and dries quickly, the 701.323UK frees seized nuts, bolts and fixings, the 701.325UK silicone stops latches and runners sticking, the 701.327UK degreaser lifts grease and grime in a 500ml can, and the 701.329UK white lithium grease lubricates metal-to-metal joints. The Specialist cans all have a Smart Straw.

Frequently asked questions

What does the WD-40 range include?

The WD-40 range centres on the original Multi-Use Product, with a Specialist line of task-specific sprays and a multi-purpose lubricant from the same maker alongside it. The Multi-Use can suits general rust protection, lubrication and moisture jobs. Specialist cans include a contact cleaner, a penetrant, a silicone lubricant, a degreaser and a white lithium grease, for jobs where a dedicated formula works better.

What is WD-40 spray used for?

WD-40 spray is used to loosen stuck parts, displace moisture, lubricate moving parts and protect metal from rust and corrosion. It also lifts grease and grime from many surfaces. Common uses include freeing seized hinges and locks, drying out damp electrical systems and keeping garden or power tools working smoothly. The range here includes the Multi-Use Product in a small can and a larger Smart Straw can.

What does WD-40 stand for?

WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, fortieth formula. The name comes from the lab notebook of the chemist who developed the spray in the nineteen-fifties, where the fortieth attempt was the one that worked. Displacing moisture is still a core job of the original Multi-Use Product, alongside loosening stuck parts, lubricating and protecting metal from rust.
