I'd spend a little extra and go for the full WD-40...

But seriously folks, I'd hesitate to use WD-40 (or 30) on a pot for fear
that it might dissolve the resistive coating. Maybe if you used just a few
drops on the shaft (okay, still no jokes allowed). Anybody else had success
and/or failure with WD-40 on pots?
