I was asked to post this to the list but I have not tried them all so cant
guarantee. I only know about my friend using it to take grease, diesel and oil
off her hubby's coveralls. I may try some of the other ones though.

WD-40. Well...who knew???
I had a neighbor who had 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 Corvair 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 stovetop... Voila! It's now
shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
