ok im am getting really confused, so is WD40 bad or good??
and its COPs, check.

 

honestly with as sensitive as those COPs are made out to be i wouldnt spray anything on them.. i probably wouldnt spray wd40 on any electrical components.. regardless of if it hurts it or not.. i wouldnt risk it..

 

You guys are high lol. Okay, go out to your trucks and hit the coils with WD 40.



Read the can.

Absolutly "Do Not" use WD-40 on computer, electrical or mechanical parts.

If you disagree, - hit your wires/elec system with it, but get it on video for all to enjoy.
_________

Use a Automotive Silicon and/or a Di-electric (none mechanical/moving)

 

WD40 will conduct electricity, and ground out your coils.

Edit. Excuse me Imeant cops. I forgot that had been determined.

 

Which just about covers everything ...

So - what's left? Private parts?

Maybe you should read dat can again ( got the right can, not the Yak **** lol?) - here's a partial list straight from their website:

I also meggared a puddle of it just now - got an infinite impedance reading .... wow - what a great conductor ! Not.

Huh!
I just checked the WD40. I sprayed a puddle of it on a piece of plastic and checked it with my VOM, and there was infinite resistance.


But years ago I saw a guy pull a prank with WD40. He charged a condenser, and had this other guy hold it. Then he sprayed it with WD40 and it discharged in the guys hand. It was funny to those of us watching, but that guy flung the condenser across the room.
So what is up with that trick?

 

No idea - different formulation perhaps? My meggar outputs several thousand volts - it's used to test insulation breakdown. Not a twitch. I'd say it's safe on most electrics. Sorry.

Too bad they haven't reformulated Seafoam - same old uselees crap as it's always been ...

 

I've used WD40 on servo pots and things like that before. But I always dried it well before putting juice through it. Simply because of what I saw with the condenser.

I guy charged a condenser and through it to me once. He said "Hey catch this". It was quite a shocking experience. I'd sure hate to get zapped with a tazer

 

The only reason I wouldn't use WD40 to dry out electrics is the oily residue. Other than that, it works as advertised and is perfectly safe.

 

A buddy of mine drove through a real flooded area once in his little car. The engine bogged, luckily in a parking lot. So he waded through the water and parked his car in a spot and the next day went back. We pulled the plugs and cranked the motor over, thus blowing out any possible water in there. Threw new plugs in and she fired right up. Might wanna try that if you think you waterlocked it. I'm sure this wouldn't work on a severe case...

 

Sure, it will do exactly what they say, no problem there. I use it, just used it today in-fact

Like I said , lets see yuh do it. Better get a case of it for the ultimate
application. Maybe they'll throw in a hat, -there you go, you could be a regular Joe WD! That would be the coolest thing ever.

Wear that sucker while your doing your door to door thing, - attempting to sell some lost sole a set of Champion plugs. It might be your lucky hat.

Don't forget, take lots of pics for this website as you progress.

BTW- I heard you can apply a second coat much quicker if you do this KOER.
