WD 40 products are so hated around here, I doubt anyone has actually tried it. Many people don't even know that they make a variety of products.
I use the original stuff and the rust penetrant around the shop but have never tried the Dry with PTFE.
Perhaps someone else here has and can actually give you an honest review....else you try it and let us know your results.

| I've used that and Tri-Flo with no ill effects. Some areas in the changer are accessible with the Tri-Flo, and some aren't. A light application of the dry lube takes care of the rest. |

Anybody ever use this product? It's a multi-use synthetic oil with PTFE.

I remember seeing an article about those dry formulas that they're PTFE in paraffin, but I can't find where I saw that. Maybe this article helps http://www.lutherie.net/tuner.maintenance.html

Frank - avoid any oil, ptfe or not. Oil is a dirt magnet, breaks down into greasy gunk and actually gums up and slows mechanisms. They have to be flushed out regularly or you end up with a guitar that needs to be dismantled to be cleaned. The ptfe doesn't help. Only use DRY ptfe (aka Teflon) lubricants on instruments- oils are outdated technology.
