    WD-40 FAQs
    WD-40 What does WD-40 stand for?
    WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion—a task which is done by displacing water. Norm's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try. Please see Our History for more information.

    What does WD-40 contain?
    While the ingredients in WD-40 are secret, we can tell you what WD-40 does NOT contain. WD-40 does not contain silicone, kerosene, water, wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or any known cancer-causing agents.

      No water there folks. It's fine to use on guns, but not the best that's out there, proper gun oils have more specialised properties for the task in hand.

      When talking about abrasives, remember, something that abrades away the carbon (soft)fouling won't necessarily be abrasive to the steel (hard). This is not dissmilar to removing soot from pans and saucepans, when you think about it, which is why a plastic pot-scrub can be very handy indeed, particularly when used with a suitable solvent to remove the fouling - like specialist gun oils. You won't go far wrong with a toothbrush either.

      For the record, I was being facetious about brillo pads, ie the hard steel ones. Don't use those.

        Was actually talking about those green plastic scrubing pads used for pots not the actual wire wool "brillo" pad.

          Same, meant the green thing that come in the ration packs.
          Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

            on the wd 40 from what ive read its main problem with firearms is that after a few days it dries out and leaves a sticky residue which while anti corrosive sticks smaller parts together so is not a good idea as a lubricant , if used as a solvent it should be wiped off and issued oil applyied . ill try post the link if i can find it.

                Reminds me of a Cadre CQ we had a few yrs ago. Last morning of camp, CQ no
                doubt a bit seedy from the night before (he was fond of a few).

                "CQ, we need some gloves for the lads cleaning the jacks"

                day"
