I'm not trying to step on any toes, offend anyone or start a controversy, but I'd like to know the actual facts regarding the use of WD-40 to remove moisture in electrical systems. I read many years ago that WD-40 should never be used on electrical components such as ignition systems or electronics. I also was told the same thing by two different electronic technicians. Supposedly, one of the compounds used in the manufacture of WD-40 will eventually cause a breakdown in the insulation of the wiring. Prior to that time, I had used WD-40 on ignition system three times, and in each case, within a year, all electrical system wiring had to be replaced. A radio repairman and a radar technician both told me the same thing. All recommended LPS, among other things, as a good substitute.
My question is: Is there any validity in the above, and, if so, has the formulation have been changed? Is WD-40 getting a bum rap?
