this famous driver didnt say he use WD40 for his engine !
I would not recommend others to use something that is with unknown effect to high performance engines. but I will give it a try to spray WD40 on pipe before run.

fuel is good enuff to clean my pipe, used Autosol before and prolong use of this polishing cream will make your pipe thinner and thinner every time as it eats away your pipe!

Don't get me wrong guys. We should always take good care of our car. It's our hobby. Same thing as I take good care of my golf clubs. My wife asked why I always keep the club head shine and clean; hence the word "GOLF"
