Using WD40 on Dysons
RustySkull:
WD40 is fine with plastic, I've used it for years including on Dyson's flimsy plastic with no issues. I use it on everything to clean as well as oil and prevent corrosion.

Great to hear! I had a DC28 brushbar which was rusted badly. I was afraid to use WD-40 on it, so I kept dropping in a bit of electric motor oil into it, spinning it and wiping out the muddy grime. Did that about 100 times. :angryman: :))

I could of done with some of oil in one of my spare dyson motors before I literally chucked it down the driveway for the scrap metal collectors - Spilt tiny bit of screen cleaner into the top bearing of a YV-511 - ate dry all the oil and grease out of the bearing and seized the bugger up...

Haha, remember WD40 is only oil, it's designed to oil and also clean, you can use it for all sorts of things... Starting engines, driving out water, oiling etc... It won't damage anything, very good stuff :)
I've used it to clean whole Vacuum's before :)

That's good to know. I'm always afraid of melting plastic bits off.
