It does everything, but nothing well.
Use pb blaster or aerokroil for penetrating fluid, brakleen for cleaning, and the correct grease or silicon lube for lube.
WD is good on something that a harsher solvent might cause damage to. I agree though, it will cause more harm than good if used as a permanent solution.
Yep, I also use WD as it was designed, to displace water. I use it to mount tires that don't have rim rotation problems because it dries and leaves a film making dismounting much easier, It's also the best thing to remove tire marble marks at the track from your paint.
