I had to post this. Amazing
WD40
Before
you read to the end, does anybody know what the main
ingredient of WD 40 is?
WD-40.
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 degreaser 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.

the ‘shower door’ part, try it.

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.
