Basketball season is in high gear. The NBA is nearing playoff time, the NCAA’s March madness is nearly upon us, and high schoolers and club players are on the court day in and day out. Proper care of equipment will help make each game a slam dunk, and WD-40® can help. Use it to:

• Lubricate breakaway rims to allow for easier slam-dunking
• Stop squeaks on wheels of portable hoops
• Clean and shine ball racks
• Remove permanent marker stains from dry erase boards in locker rooms

It's spring training time! Break out the bats, break in the gloves and get ready for another action-packed baseball season. WD-40® has been hanging around dugouts for years. Keep a can in your equipment bag and use it to:

• Remove pine tar from hands and other body parts (be sure to wash hands with soap and water after using WD-40)
• Penetrate stuck (removable) cleats and make replacement easier
• Clean, shine and remove pine tar from batting helmets
• Polish and remove ball marks from bats
• Help break in brand new leather mitts and batting gloves
