Default WD 40 - sorry, can't remember

I got this in my email and vaguely remember being told in here that WD40 was
not good for you but I can't remember why... Anyone?



WD-40 Well, Who Knew...? I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I
got up early one Sunday morning and saw 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 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, 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... Walla! It's now shinier than it's ever
been. You'll be amazed. Here are some of the uses:

1) Protects silver from tarnishing.

2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.

3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.

4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.

5) Keeps flies off cows.

6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.

7) Removes lipstick stains.

8) Loosens stubborn zippers.

9) Untangles jewelry chains.

10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.

12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.

13) Removes tomato stains from clothing.

14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.

15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.

16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.

17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes

18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those
nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish
and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to
open some windows if you have a lot of marks.

19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
Use WD-40!

20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on
riding mowers.

22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.

23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to
open.

24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.

25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as
vinyl bumpers.

26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.

27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.

28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy
handling.

29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
smoothly.

30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.

31) Removes splattered grease on stove.

32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.

33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.

34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).

35) Removes all traces of duct tape.

36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.

37) Florida's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills
and bumpers."

38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of
Liberty from the elements.

39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will
be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the
chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind
though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not
allowed in some states.

40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops
the itch.

41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and
wipe with a clean rag.

42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots
with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start. P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH
OIL.
