WD-40 The Miracle in a can

[MonarC]

My aunt sent me this info and I thought it was pretty cool. I had no idea that WD-40 was so useful.



-------------------------------------


A lady got up very early one morning and went outside to pickup the
Sunday paper, she noticed someone had sprayed red paint all around
the sides of the neighbors brand new beige truck. She went over and
woke him up and gave him the bad news. He was, of course extremely
upset.


And they stood there trying to figure out what could be done about
the problem. They decided there wasn't much recourse but to wait
until Monday, since nothing was open. Just then another neighbor came
out of his house, surveyed the situation and immediately went to get
his WD-40 out and cleaned the red paint off with it. Guess What! It
cleaned up that paint withou t harming the original paint on the
truck! I'm impressed!!


Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for A rust
preventative solvent and de greaser 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 that was to find a
'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth
formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair 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...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL' . When you
read the 'shower door' part, 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 is a miracle! Then try it on your
stovetop... It is now shinier than it has ever been before.

Let's hope fish don't use like KY Jelly!!


It's great stuff - hate the smell though. I've used it on sticky zippers and it works a lot better than a candle or soap.

I love WD-40, I use it in the springtime when the hinges in the doors get squeaky from the heater drying them out during the winter.
