Thanks Rick, The multiple uses remind me of the father in “My Big Fat Greek
Wedding” who was spraying all sorts of things with glass cleaner. DJH

WD-40 Story
I had a neighbour who had bought a new van. I got up very early one Sunday
morning and saw that some vandal had spray painted red all around the sides
of this white van. I went over and told him the bad news. He was very upset
and was trying to work out what to do, probably nothing until Monday morning,
since nothing was open.
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. You’ll be amazed.

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.
19. Dead insects will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!

37. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be

counties .
38. Use it for gnat bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the
itch.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL ...
