No, WD-40 is NOT water based - it is oil and solvent based.

The WD in WD 40 stands for Water Displacement.

Whilst WD40's formulation is still relatively unknown, it most assuredly does NOT contain water. It's use as a light lubricant and water dispersant would be ineffectual if it did!

EDIT: direct from WD40.com (official website):

What does WD-40 Multi-Use Product contain?

While the ingredients in WD-40 Multi-Use Product are secret, we can tell you what it does NOT contain.

WD-40 Multi-Use Product does not contain silicone, kerosene, water, graphite, or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
