when I remember to I spray it on the underside of the fenders on my 4 wheeler before going mudding it makes for a quicker clean up. it also works good for polishing aluminum with like 600 grit or finer.

^^ Two excellent uses, man!

I'm gonna have to spray the undercarriage/skidplate/fenders on the KLR and try that "easy cleanup" method out...

We always used spray cooking oil like Pam on our dirt bikes and riding gear if we knew we were going mudding.

I used to use wd for about a thousand reasons - but after having no success at a stuck bolt and moving over to pb blaster - everything wd does - pb is better. I still believe everything has its purpose (still trying to find mine ) so I'll keep a can around

LOL! Oh, THAT kind of Fox... It all makes sense now. Definately a valid use then...

Man, I know.. PB is a better penetrater for stuck nuts and such. It just is. I use it more than WD.
However, WD is better for anything that PB is too strong for chemically.

I used to get to get adhesive off my front fairing. Works great on removing sticky stuff, and even scuff marks.

I also used to to un-stick a stick throttle cable.

I'm really afraid to ask what needs cleaning after a night of Guinness drinking.
