Although it works fairly well as a penetrating oil, there are many better products for that job. As far as being a lubricant goes, it evaporates away too fast to have any value.

It worked real good to clean the chain before lubing on my 84 Sporty. Also worked good for cleaning the lube off of the rear wheel. It is a very good grease cutter.
