WD-40 never made the <BR>> claim, of course. What it's good at, it's very good at. Just don't spray <BR>> it on battery connectors and battery terminals, or you wind up with a fine, <BR>> white surface powder that is,as I say, dielectric. And it's hard to remove; <BR>> seems as if it just keeps growing on the surface of the terminals and posts. <BR>> Eventually, some very energetic brushing got it back to where it should be. <BR>> But around boats--I just don't think it can be beat. Especially around <BR>> boats used in salt water. (Ugh!
