Good Stuff to Know...... Keep a Copy 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 was 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...'It is made from fish
oil.' 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. Then try it on your stovetop. It is now
shinier than it has ever been before. It also:
1) Protects silver from tarnishing. 2) Removes
road tar and grime from cars. 3) Cleans and
lubricates guitar strings. 4) Gives floors that
'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
5) Keeps flies off cows! 6) Restores and cleans
chalkboards. 7) Removes lipstick stains.
8) Loosens stubborn zippers. 9) Untangles jewelry
chains. 10) Removes stains from stainless steel
sinks. 11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue
grill. 12) Keeps ceramic/terra-cotta garden pots
from oxidizing. 13) Removes tomato stains from
clothing. 14) Keeps glass shower doors free of
water-spots. 15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic
and marble floors. 16) Keeps scissors working
smoothly. 17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on
vehicles and doors in homes. 18) It removes black
scuff marks from the kitchen floor! (Open some windows if
you have a lot of marks!). 19) Bug guts will eat
away the finish on your car. Removed quickly, with WD-40.
20) Gives children's play gym slide a shine for a
super fast slide. 21) Lubricates gear shift on lawn
mowers. 22) Rids kids' rocking chairs and swings
of squeaky noises. 23) Lubricates tracks in sticking
home windows and makes them easier to open. 24)
Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in
vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. 26) Restores and
cleans roof racks on vehicles. 27) Lubricates and
stops squeaks in electric fans. 28) Lubricates wheel
sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy
handling. 29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and
dryers and keeps them running smoothly. 30) Keeps
rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31) Removes splattered grease on stove. 32)
Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. 33) Lubricates
prosthetic limbs. 34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony
(they hate the smell). 35) Removes all traces of
duct tape. 36) Folks even spray it on their arms,
hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain. 37)
Florida 's favorite use: 'cleans and removes Love
Bugs from grills And bumpers.' 38) Protects the
Statue of Liberty from the elements. 39) WD-40
attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time. 40) Fire
ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the
itch. 41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from
walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42) If you've washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a
load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and
re-wash.... Presto! Lipstick is gone! 43) If you
spray WD-40 on the distributor cap, it will displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.
Keep a can of WD-40 in your kitchen cabinet over the stove.
It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It
takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.
