Fwd: WD-40

I haven’t verified most of this, but I do know that some of it works. It does wonders for rusty locks and grimy bicycles.

>A lady got up very early one morning and went outside to pickup the Sunday
>paper, she noticed someone had sprayed red paint all around the sides of the
>neighbors brand new beige truck. She went over and woke him up and gave him
>the bad news. He was, of course extremely upset.
>And they stood there trying to figure out what could be done about the
>problem. They decided there wasn’t much recourse but to wait until Monday,
>since nothing was open. Just then another neighbor came out of his house,
>surveyed the situation and immediately went to get his WD-40 out and cleaned
>the red paint off with it. Guess What! It cleaned up that paint without
>harming the original paint on the truck! I’m impressed!!

>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 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…’ IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL’ . 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 is a
>miracle! Then try it on your stovetop… It is now shinier than it has ever
>been before.
