WD-40

 

 

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40   is?  Don't lie and cheat by reading the end of this article now. 

 

My neighbor had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of his beige truck (for some unknown reason).  I went over, woke him up and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do -- probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm the paint job     on  the  truck.  I'm impressed!  WD-40 who knew? 

 

Water Displacement #40 began from a search for a rust preventative solvent & degreaser to  protect missile   parts.   WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the  fortieth formulation, thus  WD-40. 

 

The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part (#14), try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top...Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
