Subject: : WD-40----A REMINDER
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 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 .
