I don't know, but as I know, nobody pushed it beyond the limits.

Still waiting for other suggestions.
WD-40 should not affect your paint, but best to remove it with a clean cloth, then wash with auto shampoo and (suggest) give it a coat of polish. For info, the standard WD-40 product should not be used around rubber and, I understand, some plastics. What you should use in those instances is a silicone spray (WD-40 do offer a silicone spray in the UK, so I imagine you can get it in your country), which I use around my X1 and find very useful. WD-40 also manufacture an aerosol spray electrical contact cleaner, which I have found to be useful around the car and the house, so might be useful if there's a sticking electrical switch/motor.
I know other brands offer similar products, so I am not trying to promote WD-40 for any particular purpose, but simply from my own experience
