WD-40…Who Knew

Posted by: johnetec on: April 1, 2009

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.
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.

  • **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
