Much much less than 25%. If you apply it to something with no lube at

We are in full agreement on that! AFAIAC it is a very temporary
lubricant. As you say, quite useful for removing old lubricant, which
can sometimes be just a sticky residue.

In my experience it's WD40 that leaves a "sticky residue". That's why
I always advise against using it on marginal ignition systems to help
starting on cold/wet mornings. It does help get rid of water
'immediately' but the sticky gunge it leaves behind stores up even
more trouble in the future.

Whatever happened to "Dampstart" or was it "wetstart"?

It's still there as "Easystart" on eBay
