I remember the days when you only needed a roll of duct tape and a lubricant in your toolbox. These days there are so many automotive chemicals it can make your head spin. Lubricants, penetrants, cleaners, adhesives; where do you start? In this DIY, Kyle Smith breaks down what he thinks are the essential chemicals you should always have handy in your garage.

You can you carb cleaner on almost anything
A good wheel cleaner should definitely be added to that list. Spray it on your dirty wheels, watch it change color, give a little scrub (if they are really filthy) and then rinse off the brake dust deposits. Makes keeping your wheels clean so much easier.
I live in the worst of the rust belt, and long experience calls for a paraffinic spray oil like RustCop, Waxoyl or Krown for door hinges, lock cylinders and mechanisms, weep holes, folded seams, shift linkages, e-brake cables and fittings- basically anything where you want a light oil/sealant that displaces moisture. WD and penetrant are NOT the same thing, and loose grease doesn't hold as well and is more difficult to apply. Milspec 'cosmoline' type spray is nice for things you want sealed and forgotten, like shock bolts, bleeder screws, suspension bolts, etc.
Glad to see you back Kyle! One that comes to mind is a good, non water based, rubber protectant. I use it on weatherstripping, keeps it pliable and working longer.
You missed both the 1st & most important garage chemicals, caffeine & alcohol, in that order, but not at the same time…!
(Usually.)
I got 10 of those in my garage
let's be honest WD-40 probably will be used in place of all these 😂
All my life I’ve used WD, and never knew what the name stood for. This guy is the perfect example of the fact you don’t need high energy to be engaging on camera.
