I see they've changed it to try to improve its performance for other things than water displacement.

Ah, so is that a thinly veiled, "they changed it when I was not looking
- it used to be just white spirit, honest guv!"

I didn't say it was white spirit, I said it was white spirit with a little oil. Putting that in funny language changes nothing.


Is white spirit an effective water displacement product?

But it still scores bottom of the tests as lubrication & penetrating
oil, so not one to recommend.

Its a general purpose product. It will not necessarily compete with
specialist products in each and every category. However many people
value it since its a single can of stuff that in many cases will do the
job well enough without needing to keep a wide selection of solvents,
cleaners, penetrating oils and lubricants on hand.

Ah, marketing talk. It's just oil & solvent, all of us have oil and most of us some sort of solvent.

And it's consistently at the bottom of the performance table, often in the usually doesn't work category as a 'general purpose product.' Love it if you want, I've no time for it.
