GT85 Multi-Purpose Spray

GT85 was born in 1985 when John Chapman, a British businessman involved in motorsport, identified a need for a high-quality lubricant and water-displacing spray that could withstand demanding mechanical environments. Developed with an ex-RAF chemist, the unique formula famously includes PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and a signature lavender scent, distinguishing it from competitors.

Over the decades, GT85 established itself as an essential tool for cyclists, mechanics, and industrial workers throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Its ability to lubricate, clean, and protect metal components has made it a household name in maintenance.

Today, the brand is owned by the WD-40 Company, which acquired the brand to complement its existing range of maintenance products. While the brand has global reach, it maintains its heritage with manufacturing primary rooted in Great Britain. Ownership is currently held by the WD-40 Company, headquartered in the United States.
