WD40 is only glorified fish oil but it works it is also good to rub into painful joints.

It's also good for cleaning up duct tape sticky residue!

Debating the efficacy and correct uses of WD40 keeps many people amused on this forum, but I'd be even more suspicious of those cans of WQ481, if someone can so blatantly rip off someone else's can design I don't expect they're too fussy about the product inside it either.

LIDL? ALDI?

They must have a huge legal department - analyising trademarks / labels etc.
