Uses for WD-40
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 preventive 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
Conair 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. You'll be amazed.

Of marks.

moisture and allow the car to start.

Uses for WD-40

I have some to use every spring when I clean all the debris etc.from
the window frames and sliders plus I usually give all my electric fans
a shot before the season. I don't think of it in other uses because
the smell is not good for my sensitivities. Thanks for posting the
site link - check out the craft/hobby link for several sewing related
tips. jennellh

Uses for WD-40

Just remember that the one thing that WD-40 is good for
is as a water displacement solvent, which is what the WD stands for.
(Really!) As a lubricant, it is poor, and when it dries, it leaves a
sticky coating behind.
