Many people think WD-40 is a lubricant because itâs so good at stopping squeaks, but itâs really a solvent. The WD (water displacement) is actually evaporating away the liquid and grime it makes contact with. It can actually cause rust by exposing metals to more air.

Two of my coworkers had issues with squirrels chomping on their electronics while parked at work. One of them got a rental car during the repairs and the critters got to that one, too. Eeesh! Two $1,000 deductibles laterâŚ
