This seems a little fishy to me, since one of the stated purposes of
WD-40 is water displacement. Wouldn't make sense to have water in
the product in any significant quantities. Sounds kind of like the
rumor that "Armor All" actually _harms_ vinyl and rubber. I
personally think that both cases are nothing more than attacks on
long-established products that do a particular job cheaply and well.
After all, how can these super-whamodyne lubricant and protectant
companies possibly HOPE to sell any product with WD-40 and Armor All
making them look bad?

(Who found it amusing that Boyd's glass cleaner, at about $4.00 a can
is the same stuff as "gunk" glass cleaner, at about 99 cents a can.
both just use vinegar as the cleaning agent instead of ammonia.)
