I don't know why I inadvertently and mistakenly mentioned WD-40. I never use it myself - only Ferrees or other penetrating oil.
According to my research and my experimenting with evaporation, WD-40 contains no lubricant, only solvent, hence NO residue, and hence the way it cleans oils from surfaces ALLOWING them to rust more easily.
I, too cannot find much use for it. I believe penetrating oils DEPEND on carrying a lubricant, anomg other products, into the coroded or gummed-up area.
