l had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. l got up very early one Charfish Sunday morning and saw that some vandal had spray painted red all around Registered User the sides of this beige truck. l went over, woke him up, and told him the Joined: Monday, 7th of June 2010, 13:04:14 bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do - Posts: 1721 probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another Viewed 9295 times 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. l ' m impressed! WD-40... 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 Corvair 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!

39. WD-40 attracts
fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the

attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though,

some states.

sting away immediately and stops the itch.

gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it
would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
44.
It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for that
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.
45.
Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use
WD-40!
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
