I've never found it to
be
much better
than kerosene for freeing rusted bolts at any rate.
It has some heavier stuff added
too. If you fill a container with WD40
and leave it overnight (cooling it is supposed to help too), it will
separate into 2 distinct layers. The top one is actually a reasonable
light oil, the bottom one is much like wax.
