We picked up the 5er today and Crossroads did an outstanding job repairing all of the damage. The total cost was well below what I thought it was going to be and they treated us like they really believed we were a valuable customer. Great people to do business with! They even gave me a piece of the sticky backed trim border to repair a little problem I created that had nothing to do with this incident.
I agree that WD-40 is a solvent, however I spoke directly to the manufacturer of the PullRite hitch and was told specifically "WD-40." I even challenged them on it and they said "WD-40 tends to evaporate and thus doesn't attract dirt as easily as grease or oil. It still has lubricating properties while it is in the liquid state."

I agree with the part on WD-40 drying out and not attracting dirt as much---------but where is the lubricant you need after it dries out?
I think that they are primarily concerned with everything working smoothly when you are hooking up. They said to spray the plate and mechanism with WD-40 just before hooking up. Since I was talking to the people who manufactured the hitch, I assume they know what they are talking about.
