WD-40 is a versatile product that belongs in every household. If you think it’s only useful for loosening nuts or removing rust, think again! WD-40 can also help you maintain your car in surprising and effective ways. Here are 10 incredible car-related WD-40 hacks to make your life easier.
1. Clean bug splatters off the windshield
Nothing is more annoying than bug splatters on your windshield or hood. Spray WD-40 directly on the affected area, let it sit for a few seconds, and then wipe it away with a soft cloth. Your windshield will be spotless and scratch-free.
2. Prevent rust on metal surfaces
WD-40 is an excellent rust-prevention solution. Apply a thin layer on metal parts of your car, such as rims or the tools in your trunk, to stop rust formation—especially during the winter months.
3. De-ice frozen locks
In winter, car locks can freeze and become unusable. A quick spray of WD-40 into the lock prevents ice from forming. It can also help de-ice an already frozen lock.
4. Remove tar and tree sap
Road tar and tree sap can leave sticky marks on your car. Spray WD-40 on the spot, let it sit for a few minutes, and wipe it clean with a cloth. The tar or sap will come off without damaging your paintwork.
5. Clean rims and hubcaps
Rims and hubcaps often accumulate brake dust that’s hard to remove. Spray WD-40, let it sit for a while, scrub with a soft brush, and rinse with water. Your rims will look brand new.
6. Lubricate car door hinges
