Except for releasing rust on bolts in the under body of your car.

Spray the whole can but only a blow torch to melt the connection rust will get that bolt out.

Yah for rusty bolts and whatnot on cars i use PB Blaster, though i do also keep a can of WD40 as well for minor stuff. WD (which actually stands for water dispersant) is just a lubricant while PB Blaster is a penetrating oil/catalyst and is supposed to break down rust.

Works good on cleaning gun parts...DO NOT use it on the bore, you should always, and only use "Shooters Choice" for that. But if you come across a gun show firearm, that's older, and needs a good cleaning, stuff like that. It's also something I use on all of the door latches on my pick up truck, hood catches, and things. It's a good idea to do that every once in a while.

I use Liquid Wrench for that as well....works really good. Also if you have wasp nests all you have to do is hit the wasps with a shot of WD-40 and they'll drop like they were shot with a bazooka....ruins the nest for future residency as well.

Gasoline too. Back when I was a city kid being introduced to country life, we had a wasp problem my dad was ill prepared for. A neighbor came by with a squirt bottle and showed us that trick during broad daylight. Those fuckers started pouring out. As soon as they got hit with one drop they fell in mid flight. He got stung a few times but it was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

WD 40? MBG is right. And it ain't so great for other sticky car parts either. My brothers were rebuilding an engine trying to loosen pistons and that shit was useless. One of them poured some root beer down and the shit started bubbling. 3 whacks with the mallet and home free.

Coke-a cola works good too....shits like acid. Pour a glass and toss in some old coins, they come out like new. Pour some on the enamel of your sink, and it'll eat it away if you leave it long enough. I like PB Blaster, they make it in Cleveland to, so it's a hometown thing I guess, but it will loosen rusted on bolts. Maybe not like a torch, but it works. Smells like moth balls though.

It's actually alkaline so it works like lye....or Drano to give a more modern example. Everyone knows the Coca-cola trick to clean up battery terminals, right? It's one reason it ain't so good for your stomach....it encourages the over-production of stomach acid to neutralize the alkalinity of the soda. It's how many people end up with GERD and other heartburn-related issues. Anyway....sorry for the digression....water chemistry is part of my profession so....:dunno:

 

[D-rock]

I've almost never used WD-40 in my life now that I think about it. Every time I needed a lubricant I always used a couple other things that seem to work better depending on the situation.

 

[DrakeM]

WD-40 is a lubricant, but, and I can't stress this enough, it is NOT a personal lubricant. Your girl will not appreciate it and neither will you.

Going look for that product.

But when buying a car, don't be fooled about alloy wheels styles with them being light. If you don't rotate your tires regularly and if the metal studs rust means you are fucked getting that wheel off. Nothing will release the rust connection but buying a new rim, rotor/drum and tire studs.

Sorry I got that wrong Mr. Bill Nye, the science guy!!

I have two questions D-rock (long time, no see, by the way - nice to see you're still around)...

1) Do you frequently have a nearby supply of available lubes and lube substitutes?
2) If so, please tell me one of them is butter. I know that's not a question, but please tell me you've used butter as lube.

I'm betting he used margarine.
