WD-40 is designed to break up rust and grime and allow something to move again. Because of this, most of it evaporates quickly and the small amount of lubricant that remains wears out quickly. The example I’ve heard is that you would have to reapply it to a bike chain every 10-20 miles. It also removes actual lubricants like lithium grease and graphite.

WD-40 is a terrible lubricant that only works short-term.
