Home Vehicle Maintenance With WD-40 | Mission, TX
Bert Ogden Chevrolet in Mission, Texas, has a massive service bay staffed with expert technicians who have received specific training to work on your Chevy cars, trucks, and SUVs. Specifically, they can do routine maintenance, make repairs after accidents, and even perform multipoint inspections to pinpoint problems before they occur.
But sometimes, you have all you need to work on your Chevy car at home. WD-40, for example, can be a handy tool to help you perform some basic at-home maintenance. Here are a few common ways to use WD-40 on your car:
Keep your door lock from freezing
Sure, in Mission, Texas, it doesn’t get too cold, but in the rare event that we are pummeled with snow again, we recommend spraying some WD-40 on the door locks before the snow and cold temps arrive. Do note: This only applies to older vehicles for which you still use a physical key for entry.
Remove bumper stickers
Bumper stickers age faster than our cars nowadays, so while you may have been super excited about something a few years ago, you may not be so keen on it now. To get rid of the bumper sticker, spray it down with WD-40 and then peel it off with a simple razor blade. Much easier than getting rid of a tattoo.
Keep the bugs away
When we think of roadkill, bugs don’t immediately come to mind. But bugs are constantly hitting our grille and windshield when we drive. To help keep them from sticking, you can spray down the grille and surrounding areas with WD-40, and bugs will slide off when they hit.
Clean off oil stains
If you stained your driveway or garage floor with some oil, you can simply spray the area down (after safely disposing of the oil) with WD-40 and wash it away. The stain may not completely vanish, but it will look much better.
