While I don't want to start a whole thread on WD-40, I agree with
this statement.  My comparison to WD-40 was only that the chain lube
is in a similar style can - spray with red plastic tube.

We have this go around on the firearms lists all the time about
WD-40.  The concensus is that it's good for cleaning and desticking
stuff like powder residue, but for long-term lube, you're better off
with a good silicon lube, etc.  Same holds for vans, IMHO.  The light
lubricants end up evaporating out of WD-40 and you're left with a
gummy mess.
