Statues squeak too.

At least, they would, after 500 years of standing stiff. So we gave David a break. A shower. A therapist. A stretch. Because when you’ve been frozen in time, a little movement goes a long way.

WD-40 is the can that keeps things going. And we brought that idea to life by putting one of history’s most iconic sculptures through a modern self-care routine. His new bronze patina isn’t just a fresh look—it’s symbolic. Bronze is the language of stiff things: the squeaky hinges, rust-worn garden furniture, seized-up tools, and stubborn bolts that WD-40 was made to free. By turning David bronze, we transformed him into a living metaphor for everything that’s been stuck too long, and everything that’s just one spray away from moving again.

Staying timeless isn’t about standing still. It’s about maintenance. It’s about motion, and sometimes, it’s about a little elbow grease.
