Amazon is price matching Bunnings for this WD-40 Silicon lubricant spray. Now my preferred around the home lubricant as it's longer lasting than traditional WD-40 and can be used on most materials being silicon.

Usually around $13.70 but down to $10.40 for this deal. A handy thing for the garage door, hinges, sliding doors, walking mats, any kind of wheel or moving part etc etc. Fantastic product that basically made my garage door completely silent.

    longer lasting than traditional WD-40

    Does it have the same great taste smell?

    • +14

      Don't know about smell, but tastes great.

    • No. That said these have really bad chemically fruity smell that I cannot stand.

        The Mrs is 1/16th Scottish on her Dad's side so I'll have to pass on this then.

    says it can be used on 3d printers, any one know if its any good?

    • +5

      I'd avoid anything aerosol

      Bambu lab updated their documentation to require WD 40 - the original. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1/maintenance/lubricate-y-axis

      Not this stuff though. Although on paper it should be better

      • That's good to know… I'd imagine it be suitable for the Bambu A1/A1 mini as it has linear guide rails. Not sure it's relevant for 3d printers in a general sense.

        This silicone spray also leaves a thicker residue than the standard stuff so not sure it'll be better

        • Not sure it's relevant for 3d printers in a general sense.

          They're a reasonable chunk of the market

          • @Davo1111: You're on point about the brand, though the A1/A1 Mini are Bambu's only models that use full-metal linear guide rails which are compatible with WD‑40. There's a few other models out that that use linear guide rails, but it's the minority.

            Most other printers, like CoreXY models (P1, X1C) and ones with V‑slot wheels (e.g. Ender 3), don’t use metal guide rails. These systems typically rely on plastic wheels, and applying WD‑40 can damage components or cause debris buildup. In these setups, PTFE spray or light machine oil is far safer.

    Is this good for key holes?

    • I assume because your key is sticking upon insertion? Is it a new key by any chance?

      • Old keys, just the door lock is playing hard

        • +1

          That's probably more the pins needing some grease, I'm not sure this would be able to penetrate that far in if used externally. You probably need to remove the lock and access the bins to ensure they're properly lubricated.

        • +1

          A squirt of any silicone-based lube will do the trick and it does not leave a sticky residue. It's also great for sticking zippers.

          The WD40 mentioned in the web page above is regular WD-40, not the WD-40 silicone spray in the OP's post. WD-40, the company, make a lot of specialist lubricants. Unfortunately, people confuse the company name as being the WD-40 muli-use product. Like most, they make other products. Their MSDS page contains a list https://wd40.com.au/safety-data-sheets

      Use graphite powder. Liquids tend to gum it up worse by attracting dirt and turning it to a sticky mess. Graphite powder remains dry but slippery.

      • +2

        Depending on the surface the powder doesn't always adhere correctly no? Sometimes you want some liquid to bind the lubricant to whatever surface it's being applied to.

      • +2

        I agree

        Had a stuffed lock which was remedied by wd40 for a few months , but recently I looked again and can really tell the barrel is all gunked up too

      • I agree with endotherm.
        I used wd40 on a brand new outside lock thinking it would protect it.
        The lock was stuffed in 3 weeks, became almost impossible to open.
        The last straw was when it jammed up for 30 minutes and me trying to open it, and sweating and starting to think I would need to get a lock breaking tool, finally came loose.
        Lesson learned.

      • Graphite powder is the way to go…….until you/someone sprays some wet lubricant (oil/silicone spray/…) into the lock, from then on stick with liquids. Yes, it gums up over time, but you re-apply regular WD-40

        i've only had to wet lubricate it about once per year when it starts to feel a bit stiff/gummed up, give it a 2-3 second spray right into the keyway with the detail/pipe nozzle, put the key in and out and turn the lock, have paper towel handy to stop any WD-40 that spills/leaks out.

        Edit: you can also try an aerosol dry lube (like a PTFE spray, which can be ok, or the solvents can interact with the dirt/graphite in the lock and gum it up too) - not my preferred approach.

    • For sure, on the suzuki sv650s in the rain, uh crap. Use some compressed air to blow any water out. then use some proper WD40 to help repel some water.
      Not the silicone type in the web link.

      • oil repels water.

        silicone is handy when you need something inert like breast implants. To lube a chain, I'd still prefer oil.

      One occasion when I found my girlfriends key hole was quite tight when inserting my key, I used a bit of WD-50 silicone lubricant Then thrusted the key in and out of key hole quickly until the lube was well spread. That seemed to do the trick. I found the long nozzle provided good penetration.

      I also did the back door while I was at it, just to be safe.

      My girlfriend was very impressed with the results.

    • I've always used graphite powder in locks.
      It works every time.

    • Better to use graphite powder.

    • +1

      Grab a HB pencil.

      Colour your key in with multiple layers, powder bits.

      Then whack it in/ out of lock like a teenagers finger on prom night….

    I've a can of silicon spray at home that is 18yrs old. Bought it to help with the windows on my EA Falcon. Might be time to replace.

    • +8

      The spray or the Falcon?

  • Can't be shipped to my location 😔

    • +1

      Jokes aside I would buy the shit out of mini tactical cans of wd40 for edc

  • Would this be any good for sunroof tracks?

    • Probably better off with a lithium grease but could work in a pinch (depends on how heavy duty your application is)
      Original WD40 is a penetrant (rust remover/ loosening bolts) whereas silicon based is good for lubriating joints/ tracks etc (preventer)

      But ideally use the correct type of grease for the application

  • +8

    longer lasting than traditional WD-40

    that's cos traditional WD40 isn't a lubricant its a water displacer.
    The very thin lubricating oils in WD40 are meant to displace water and coat the surface in a thin moisture barrier to protect it from oxidisation, not to be used as a frictional lubricant.

    Plus it being oil based is not suitable anyway for exposed things because it collects dust. So silicon lubricants like this deal are indeed very good for locks and hinges etc.

    • +3

      Correct, I just put that as most people don’t understand that normal WD-40 isn’t a lubricant

      • +1

        I understand the WD stands for water distributor, and 40 is the 40th iteration of the product (that they then went with).

        • I understand the WD stands for water distributor,

          Water displacement.

    you can go SCA online and beat $0.50 and pick up today and if you have giftcard would make it even cheaper. I did that during Prime week

    I have said it here many times before, Inox MX3 is a far better product, and as a bonus is an Australian product. Doesn't stink, doesn't dry out and gum up, also only a few dollars more.

    https://www.inoxmx.com/products/mx3-lubricant/

    • +1

      This is made in Australia too. MX3 is not a silicone product.

      • -1

        If it is, I stand corrected. I thought WD was a USA product. Not that that matters, but it is a little orange coloured when it dries…… Regardless, Inox is better in every way in my opinion.

        • It's right there on the front. ;) All good, probably parent company is (possibly same for Inox). I thought only original WD40 had drying issues, but not enough experience with both products.

          • @Gav: All good. Been using Inox for a very long time and it really is a good product.

    Why not Boston 300g Aerosol Silicone Spray from Bunnings for $7.20?
    How do they compare?

    • Can’t find much information on it but it should do. Thanks for the link!

    • +3

      I bought this to lubricate the rams on my gate openers and it’s worked a treat. Several dollars less than WD-40 and the only difference I can tell is you need to fit the straw yourself if needed, unlike WD-40 where you simply flip it up.

  • Good for garage door?

    • probably the same thing lol

    • +1

      Use lithium grease for garage doors.

      • This is cheaper than most white lithium grease sprays for motorbike chains.
        Anyway use it liberally / sparingly as its a spray.

      • when to use silicone and when to use lithium?

    • +2

      This aerosol stuff will just disappear after a while.

      An alternate I tried is motor oil, which does the job and doesn't require re-application frequently.

  • seems expensive no?

  • Kmart has similar for $9

    • That’s normal WD-40, not silicon lubricant

  • +1

    Just get Inox mx3 instead

    • oooooh just found Inox MX4.
      Designed for heavy industrial, mining, farming, marine, earth moving and transport type use and where extreme climatic and high humidity conditions prevail.

      very fancy. is it like the fancy european WD40?? oh no wait they are Australian. even better. 😀

  • +1

    Inox is the way to go guys. Try it once, you won't go back to WD40.

    • yuh might try inox next time if it's not too pricey.

      whenever you have that squeaky thingamajig that doesn't go.
      I'm thinking MX4 which I mentioned above will be like one quick spray and good for almost 10 years.

      tbh WD40 was like one quick spray and good for 2 years so.. can is rusting with no pressure before I even used half of it.

  • What is the difference between all these Inox MX3, 4, 5 and 8? I’m so confuse. Please help

    • +2

      8 is the best obviously. but probably kills things that are nearby and can give you rabies.

  • Aldi have Easy glide silicone spray for about 9 or 10 bucks

    • Selleys Ezy Glide? It uses PTFE but for some reason it's kind of useless on my sliding doors. Silicone sprays work better for me.

  • +1

    Available again

  • For garage doors is it better than "3-In-One 300g Garage Door Lubricant"?
