Liquid Wrench, or WD-40?

WD-40, it will leave behind some lubrication to prevent future freeze ups.


Unless they have recently changed the formulation the light aromatics
will evaporate leaving sticky stuff behind. WD40 isn't a lubricant.

Nonsense. There isn't any "sticky stuff" in WD-40, and it is a lubricant. Not
a very good one, I'll grant you, but it is a lubricant. The MSDS

http://www.wd40company.com/files/pdf...d494716385.pdf

shows that it's somewhere between 17 and 25 percent oil.
