I read somewhere that the American military were looking for a water
dispersant and it took forty attempts by the company to formulate one
that actually worked, hence WD-40. It could have been WD-39 or even
WD-62.;-) Any truth in this?

Kroil is pretty good stuff too.
Never used it on a wet distributor cap but it's a great penetrant and
lubricant.
I believe the mfg is Kano Laboratories.

Wonderful dissertation on WD-40!
Long live Tri-Flo; the best friend a wrench ever had.

That's popular with the garage door opener installers, but I'm
not holding my breath until that product is proven.
I did buy some but have found that specialized lubricants are
better in most cases, that is lubricants designed for specific
applications as recommended by the manufacturer of the product.
That doesn't mean I don't use Tri-Flo or the other competitors
for non-critical applications. For example I use some stuff with Teflon
in it for squeaky door hinges, but don't think I would pick it for use
in one of my cameras, or in a watch, for example.
Would you?
