The Main Ingredient in WD-40

Before you read to the end do you know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is? Don't lie and don't cheat. WD-40, 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 to wake 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 on the truck.

Water Displacement #40: The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts, and was created in 1953 by three technicians at the SanDiego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a water dis­placement compound. They were successful with the 40^th combination, 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 below, 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.... Voila! It's now shinier than it has ever been.
