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.
Motor oil and axle grease are likewise "sticky stuff."
As an aside, WD-40 does as good a job of shining a stainless steel
sink as the products made for that purpose.
And makes the kitchen smell to good?
