Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient
of WD-40 is?

Don't lie and don't cheat.

WD-40. Who knows?

I had a neighbour who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early
one Sunday morning and saw that someone had sprayed red paint 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 neighbour 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 degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40
was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket
Chemical Company..

Its name comes=2 0 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 stove top ... Viola! It's now shinier than it's
ever been. You'll be amazed.
