WD40 is good but as mentioned it does leave a sticky residue which collects crap

No way!
There's so much to learn....
1. Why on earth did you buy 100 can's of anything but 100 cans of WD?
2. What have you been using 7.5 cans of WD on per year?
3. Why only 7.5 cans per year, with a glut of that many surely you must have been squirting the stuff on everything and anything that looked like it might be good for it?
4. And how is the bike?

Its great for cleaning but for lubrication 3 in 1 oil is better!
Personally I cant stand the smell of it after using it for a while. The smell stays in my nose for ages :-]

makes a good easy start when the car battery is almost flat.

I agree!
For a while we had a Rover, like going back in time 30 years! Worst car we ever had.
Every morning in wet weather we had to spray the HT leads to get the spark because they were so long that they were affected by damp. The last time my oh had to do that was in the 1970's when his dad had a Ford Corsaire!
