WD denotes Water Dispersant.

If I want to lubricate something I use oil, grease or collodial graphite (oil dag) as appropriate. If I want to free off rusted parts I use brake fluid or diesel fuel. Where the unpleasant odour is a problem I use penetrating oil.

Has anyone found a use for carb cleaner in vintage radio work?
