There’s nothing so quite as fulfilling as quickly resolving a problem, especially when it settles an issue with your other half’s car.
While there are plenty of third world issues to worry about, it’s fair to say struggling to open your passenger door from the outside when it should be effortless really isn’t one of them though there’s no denying, it can prove frustrating. And that was very much the case with the eight-year-old Mini sitting on our driveway.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of driving one of Oxford’s finest, the doors release with a pinch of your fingers. When new and in warmer weather they’re faultless but, as the car ages and in the cold, it’s like one of those tests that delight in the World’s Strongest Man.
However, a liberal squirt of WD-40® Specialist Spray Grease ensuring the cannister’s nozzle is as close to the mechanism as possible to make sure the solution gets to the seat of the problem and then several squeezes with the fingers to work it in and, problem solved. The real benefit of using Spray Grease being that its thick sticky consistency doesn’t run or drip so there was no need to compete with gravity as it runs down the door.
Spray Grease, which sits within WD-40’s nine-product line-up of Specialist products, has been developed to lubricate all metal to metal contacts. It also cannot be ignored it protects against rust, corrosion and further seizing.
