That's why MX1000 is so great! It's funny, reading the wd-40 can. It says; "stops squeaks...." Of course it does! For less than a week. The reason it feels cold is b/c it is evaporating (going away). THen how can it lubricate?...
Colorado: I'm simply agreeing with you and realize that you are aware of these facts.
The reason I'm emphasizing the wd40 thing is because it frustrates me a little bit that more people don't know this. Furthermore, this is just my way of showing that I agree. I've got nothing against ANYONE who uses WD40, but I could not bear to use it on my stuff. The same goes for grease, unless it's used in internal/sealed parts such as bearings, via zerk fittings, etc... When used for the proper application, grease is my favorite (lol).
Grease turns to wax when exposed to the atmosphere (over time). Or, at least, wax is the only portion of it remaining after the lighter petroleum products have evaporated (takes weeks-months). You guys ever look at old, dried up grease? it's like paraffin wax, which is one of the ingredients of grease. Man does that get sticky!
sorry if my two cents turned into a few dollars~
