I had a neighbour who had bought a new van. I
saw that some vandal had spray painted red all around
the sides of this white van. Another neighbour
came out and told him to get some WD-40 and clean it
off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully
and did not harm the paint
that was on the van. I'm impressed!
WD-40 - how did someone work out it would do that?
'Water Displacement No.40' The product began from
a search for 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. It's the first thing that has
ever cleaned that spotty shower screen. If yours is plastic, it works just as
well as on glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your cooker top .... Kazamm!
It's now shinier than it's ever been.
