RE: WD40
Remember too that WD40 has Kerosene as an ingredient. This is why it cleans so well. It is not meant as an oil, by the way, it is meant to displace water (Water Displacement Formula #40) and to break loose rusted fixtures. It's a wonderful product with unlimited uses.
Leaving it on painted surfaces for extended amount of time may create issues. Chrome? should be fine.. Chrome pipes? Better get it off before starting the bike or be prepared to pull your hair out.

Main ingredients, from the material safety data sheet, are:
[ul][*]50%: Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, somewhat similar to, but not the same as, kerosene)[*]25%: Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability)[*]15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)[*]10-%: Inert ingredients [/ul]

RE: WD40
Hi, I live in Cyprus (Europe) which is an island with very hot and hummit summers. I work near the beach and I use my bike to get there. I actually wash the bike with WD40. It works great. Just spray the bike leave it on for a while then wash the bike. The parts you can not reach will remain covered with the spray and never collect rust. Also it is good to use a blower.
