Before you read to the end, does
anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?
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 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 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 stove top
... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
