WD-40
Well, Who Knew...?
I had a neighbor who 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 this 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 his paint
job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who
knew?
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.
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's a miracle! Then try it on your
stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been.
