"I am what you would call a WD-40 fanatic. I have used WD-40 countless times for so many things! I once received a bike that was retrieved by my neighbor from a saltwater pond. The bike was in pretty good condition, but the wheels wouldn't budge. I stood on the pedals and tried to move them, but they were stuck solid. I grabbed my can of WD-40 and soaked the bearings of each wheel, the chain and the pulley bearings. I got back on, and the bike rolled and worked like new! I sprayed the whole bike liberally and it shined, and rode like a brand new bike! Thanks for all your help, WD-40!"
