   You should not use WD40 on your chain. It will penetrate the O Rings and disolve the lubricants behing them. Kerosene is thicker than WD 40 and will not penetrate the O Rings.

   Hi there

   I’ve yet to have WD40 penetrate O-rings and I’ve cleaned my chains for years with it. It’s not to do with the viscosity of the fluid in this case. If your O rings seal then neither kerosene or WD40 will pass. If they’re old and worn then both WD40 and Kerosene will pass.

   Cheers

   No, WD40 is Kerosene based so doesn’t deteriorate O rings.

    Thanks for sharing your cleaning tips. I’m glad you did not dirty your white washed wall, behind your motor-bike. How long does the WD-40 take, to dry thoroughly? Will the later washing cause rusting, where the WD-40 was?

    what kind of gloves are you wearing in this? disposable?
20. DrivenandRidden says:

    June 19, 2009 at 10:21 am

    Hi there

    Yes they’re disposable latex gloves, we sell them on our online shop but you’ll be able to get them from most motor factors too. They stop oil getting engrained into your hands.

22. DrivenandRidden says:

    I get it from the local motor factors EK Brakes. They supply garages etc rather than the general public, but will still sell over the counter to you.

    Kind regards

    Ace Videos, just what i was looking for

    I was wondering which autoglym products you use exactly?

    i already have a alloy polish

    im putting together a shopping list and so far can only remember water based and oil based degreasers, is there a particular wax or polish you recommend or any other product?
