WD-40 is a globally recognized multi-use lubricant famous for its water-displacing properties. The brand originated in 1953 in San Diego, California, when the Rocket Chemical Company sought to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry. It famously took forty attempts to perfect the water-displacement formula, leading to the name WD-40.

Today, the brand is owned by the WD-40 Company, which remains headquartered in San Diego. While the core chemical concentrate is often manufactured in the United States, the final aerosol products are packaged in various regional facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia to serve local markets. The 'Flexible' variant shown features a bendable applicator designed to reach difficult areas, continuing the brand's history of industrial and household utility.
