When using WD-40 Specialist Bike Degreaser on my bike chain, should I rinse with water afterwards?

With the WD-40 Specialist® Bike Degreaser it is really up to how dirty the components are. The formula itself is fast evaporating and leaves no visible residue. So if it's not too dirty then just spray liberally and use a cloth to collect the dirty liquid, there is no need to use water. If the chain is severely dirty and greasy then it is a very good idea to rinse with water to help ensure that all of the dirty liquid is removed. In some cases you may need to reapply the degreaser to remove all of the previous dirt and greasy grime. Always remember that the WD-40 Specialist Bike Degreaser leaves no residue and therefore is not a corrosion inhibitor. To protect the chain, relubricate with a chain lube or apply a corrosion inhibitor like WD-40® Multi-Use-Product for storage.

Kui ma kasutan WD-40 Specialist Bike Degreaser'i oma jalgratta ketile, kas ma peaksin pärast seda veega loputama?

WD-40 Specialist® Bike Degreaser'i puhul sõltub see tegelikult sellest, kui määrdunud on komponendid. Koostis ise aurustub kiiresti ja ei jäta nähtavaid jääke. Nii et kui see ei ole liiga määrdunud, siis pihustage lihtsalt ohtralt ja kasutage rätikuga määrdunud vedeliku kogumiseks, vett ei ole vaja kasutada. Kui kett on tugevalt määrdunud ja rasvane, siis on väga hea mõte loputada veega, et tagada kogu määrdunud vedeliku eemaldamine. Mõnel juhul võib olla vaja uuesti kasutada rasvaärastusvahendit, et eemaldada kogu varasem mustus ja rasvane mustus. Pidage alati meeles, et WD-40 Specialist Bike Degreaser ei jäta jääke ja seega ei ole see korrosiooni inhibeerija. Keti kaitsmiseks määrige see uuesti ketilõbuga või kasutage hoiustamiseks korrosiooniinhibiitorit, nagu WD-40® Multi-Use-Product.

Lõpuks pihustage pindade kaitsmiseks tulevase rooste eest WD-40 mitmeotstarbelise tootega.

What can I use on the moving parts, catches, locks on my doors and windows?

Using WD-40 Multi-Use Product as a penetrant to release stuck window hinges and to displace water after washing is a great use of our product. For light lubrication especially of locks and catches, you can use WD-40 Multi-Use Product, but for the more specialist user we suggest applying the following after MUP. For light hinges and rails use WD-40 Specialist Silicone (or Specialist Dry PTFE) as it is great at eliminating sticking and binding. Make sure to wipe up any over spray though as we don't want it getting onto any curtains. For heavier windows and ratchet systems use WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease The above two options (Silicone and WLG) would be more than sufficient for any window lubrication and corrosion protection. If you know that a particular window rail, hinge or ratchet will be subject to extreme conditions and are worried about corrosion and seizing then Specialist Spray Grease with the added WD-40 formula would be the one to use for corrosion protection but these situations are unlikely to occur. If you are spraying near a painted surface, be mindful that WD-40® Multi-Use Product may cause stains. We also advise you to contact the manufacturer of the door or windows to ensure using products on them doesn't affect your warranty! Just remember, you should make sure to clean out all the grime to give our greases a fair chance to work and wipe off any excess MUP before applying our greases. Small amounts of MUP left won't affect the performance of our greases. The important thing is to apply our greases to a clean surface with no grime or older grease.

Kasutamisel pidage silmas järgmisi nõuandeid: Juhuslike kahjustuste vältimiseks kontrollige alati tootja juhiseid enne toote seadmele pealekandmist. Ärge pihustage seadme õõnsustesse, avadesse, lõhedesse või kohtadesse, kus selle toote täielikuks aurustumiseks puudub piisav õhuvool. Loksutage purgi hästi ja eraldage kogu võimsus, lastes kuumadel pindadel jahtuda. Kallutage pinda puhastamise ajal, et liigne vedelik saaks maha voolata, ja veenduge, et toode on enne voolu taastamist täielikult kuivanud.
