Don’t lie and don’t cheat. The Answer is at the end of this message.
WD-40:
Who knew? I had a neighbour who bought a new car. I got up very early one Sunday
morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of his
car (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 neighbour 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 on the car. 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.
