I used to spray it into the carburettor intakes and slather the throttle slides when laying my track bike up for winter. Big mistake, first ride on a racetrack next season and the WD40 had skinned over and baked the throttle slides to the carb bodies. Went round a hairpin with the throttles stuck open - brown trouser moment 
Hi use WD40 clean marks from interior trim on most plastics also lubricate rubber seals doors and windows

There is a web page somewhere, they list 1001 uses for it, some of it wierd, some very good.
Its a Water Dispersant really, hence it's name. However, as hughdavies says, it's canny useful LINKY

Think outside, no box required.
Makes a good aftershave..
i get it in 5 litre bottles and spray it monthly under my rangy to keep it rust free, works a treat..
Crap at penetration though "snigger" i find acetone and ATF in an oil can makes a great penetrant, shake it well before use mind you

The only thing I use it for is to stop my tools going rusty, and occasionally as a cleaner - which is does quite well.
Plenty of better products out there to get rusty stuff undone, my favourite is plus-gas

With people getting aftershave/perfume for Xmas we had a discussion about favourites and ones we'd like.
I got strange looks when I said I'd love an aftershave that had a smell a bit like classic cars - leather, oil, petrol, hot metal............is it just me?
