I'm not sure what percentage of wd40 us mineral spirits, as the formula is secret, shhhh. But whatever it is, its perfect for cleaning and lubing chain all at the same time, YaY! Do that once a week and it leaves more time for riding. Btw I'm only going by My EXPERIENCE with wd40 as a cleaner/lubricant.
