You'll see contact cleaner from M.G. Chemicals or something like that. Specialty #lubricants you might recognize as coming from a company you've heard of - 3M or BASF - or maybe from another you haven't. Each one will be different. Why?

Because they're better. Companies specialize. And #professionals can tell whether one product works better than another - they don't need to be told by having "Professional" printed on the can immediately after the product name. Mechanics have been using their type of rust penetrating lubricant for generations without change, and will likely still be doing so for more.

Having umpteen products that would normally be from different specialty #manufacturers instead all coming from one brand, "WD-40", is a red flag. And worse, it's a brand focused on the #consumer market. Professional products don't do that. They don't need to advertise in mass media and try to enhance the "brand awareness" of their line. Consumer brands spend (waste?) a ton of money on this kind of stuff, and that money comes from two places: higher prices for the consumer, and lowered quality of product by cutting corners.

Someone at Princess Auto - almost certainly someone who has an MBA and never gets their hands dirty - has made the decision to source everything they can from WD-40. Maybe that company is paying to be the exclusive supplier of anything they make. Maybe the spreadsheet just showed a two-percent better return.
