Pretty Long but I received this information about WD 40, pretty interesting.
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

> 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.
