Re: WD-40 on paint

[Michiel van Wessem <jmvw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Although it probably won't hurt the paint, I suspect WD-40 will dissolve
any wax you might have on the car. Then the WD-40 might evaporate and leave
parts of the paint exposed to corrosion.

It seems to work very well to clean and lubricate the power antenna though.
