I think most of us know what WD-40 is without a picture... :P

Do not use WD-40, it will corrode the plastic over time.

I use household oil, I know lots of people use silicon spray.

I use valve oil from my old trumpet. It is short term but it works very well.

There isnt a set time that it will destroy them, haha. Yeah, its a bomb. In three weeks, your cars will fall apart.

Seriously, it does damage your cars. I use powdered graphite.

It already has damaged it. You have used it for 3 months still. 2 months havent passed yet. :lol:

And no, Don't lube the track. It makes the wheels sleep.

Just stop using wd-40 all together.

J-Boy, listen. It damages your cars. End of discussion. There is no need to ask, because it does, It damages his cars too. It isnt noticable right away, it takes time. Don't use it. Period. Sorry I has to be an ass, but you didnt get it.
