I use it all the time!

In the shower, or do you prefer baths?

The next time my motorcycle and I need a shower simultaneously, we're going through a car wash!

Well, I'm still very little the wiser. There is this disclaimer at the bottom of the page etaoin linked to:

The uses of WD-40 described on this Web site were provided to WD-40 Company by end-users of the product, and do not constitute recommendations or suggestions for use of WD-40 by WD-40 Company. These uses, including the "Use of the Day", have not been tested by WD-40 Company. Consumers should exercise common sense whenever using WD-40. Always follow the instructions and take heed of any warnings printed on the WD-40 packaging.

So, as far as I can make out they are selling this product which various people have used for outdoor penetrating and lubricating, for which it may or may not be suitable, but the company is not going to tell us what the product is supposed to be used for.

FYI Bingley - As they state "Our lubricants are widely dispersed and hold firmly to all moving products" seems to be quite accurate. What they don't seem to 'let on' is that it is a very, very thin lubricant of which I'm inclined to believe that the cleaning part of the solution counteracts quite efficiently. Which, of course, makes one use more of (or more often) the product... not that there's anything wrong with that...

luverly for releasing the jammed and starting to rust friction lock of a wheelchair footpedal. Also for getting the black gunky grease off your hands after repairing a bicycle's rear flat. Not so good as a long term or heavy lubricant.
