The long days of summer means one thing: the open road is calling. Whether you’re planning a cross-country trek to national parks, a family beach trip, or a few weekends of camping, your vehicle needs to be as ready as you are. The last thing anyone wants on vacation is a squeaky hinge, stuck mechanism, or a preventable breakdown.

Need a handy car companion? The WD-40_® Precision Pen

• Compact, easy-to-use tool
• Delivers pinpoint lubrication
• Simple, small, effective.

Now available at Advance Auto Parts, the Precision Pen helps to take auto maintenance and gear care on the go.

Unlike traditional sprays, the WD-40 Precision Pen is all about accuracy. With its easy-to-hold design and controlled flow applicator, you can apply just the right amount of the Classic WD-40 Product exactly where you want it, without overspray. Think of it as the perfect glovebox companion: compact, versatile, and ready for whenever you need it.

Here's what some customers say about using the Precision Pen:

• “Growing up I’ve always used WD-40 throughout my DIY projects, mechanic work, and home improvement projects! To be able to hold the power of WD-40 between my fingers with such precision has truly made repairing some problems simple!”
• "Missile sauce in precise pen form. Nice. I’m going to pick some up this weekend."

Here are five easy ways to use the WD-40 Precision Pen to prep your car for the road:

1. Door Hinges & Latches
• Long drives mean frequent stops. Don’t let squeaky or stiff door hinges slow you down. A few drops from the Precision Pen will quiet the noise and protect against rust.
2. Seat Belt Mechanisms
• Stuck or retracting slowly? A precise application keeps seat belts moving smoothly—essential for both comfort and safety.
3. Trunk & Hood Latches
• Road trips often mean extra cargo. Use the pen to ensure trunk and hood latches stay rust-free and easy to operate.
4. Window Tracks
• Sticky windows on a hot day? The Precision Pen makes quick work of sticky tracks, helping glass glide without effort.
5. Battery Terminals
• Moisture and corrosion can sneak in during summer humidity. A small amount of WD-40 applied with precision can help protect connections.

Each of these fixes takes only minutes but can save headaches on the highway.

Van life is more than a trend—it’s a movement. People across the country are converting vans into rolling homes, taking extended trips to national parks, forests, and coastlines. If you’re hitting the road in your van, the WD-40 Precision Pen should be an essential part of your toolkit.

Why? Vans double as vehicles and living spaces, meaning the at-home and on-the-go uses are both at play. Built-out vans with cabinets, kitchens, and storage spaces will also have extra hinges, locks, and moving parts that can jam, squeak, or corrode. All that multi-tasking calls for the WD-40 Multi-Use Formula, delivered via the highly-packable, constantly useful pen. From sliding side doors & windows to compartment latches, the Precision Pen helps keep everything working smoothly—without mess or waste.

Imagine this: You’re driving through Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, or Yosemite. You pull over for a scenic stop, only to find your car door hinge screaming every time it opens. Not exactly the soundtrack you wanted with your view. A quick dab with the Precision Pen and you’re back in the Now.

National park road trips can push your vehicle and gear to the limit—dusty trails, long miles, and exposure to the elements. Keeping the Precision Pen in your glovebox ensures that whether you’re opening the hatch for a picnic or adjusting your roof rack, you’ve got the right fix at your fingertips.

The Precision Pen isn’t just for vehicles. Summer is full of adventures, and the pen is a handy companion for keeping outdoor gear in top shape.

1. Fishing Gear
• Apply a drop to reel mechanisms to keep casts smooth and prevent rust after exposure to water.
2. Camping & Hiking Gear
• Tent zippers, folding chairs, or stove hinges—these all benefit from precision lubrication in dusty or damp environments.
3. Outdoor Sporting Equipment
• From skateboards and rollerblades to baseball gloves and bikes, the Precision Pen helps extend the life of your gear while keeping performance consistent.

One tool, countless uses—that’s the Precision Pen advantage.

When you’re gearing up for summer projects or prepping for a big road trip, convenience matters. That’s why Advance Auto Parts is your go-to destination for the WD-40 Precision Pen. With locations across the country (and online shopping just a click away), you can grab one while stocking up on other road trip essentials.

After all, summer road trips should be about adventure, not preventable car troubles. Keep your vehicle, van, and outdoor gear in good working order with quick, precise fixes that fit right in your pocket.
