This Is just An Interesting Little Peice I Found, So I Thought I Might Share With You All......
What is the main ingredient of WD-40 ?
Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is? Don't lie & don't cheat. WD-40. Who knew?
I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning & 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, & 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 & told him to get his WD-40 & clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully & 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 & 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.

Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in
mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately & stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark & wipe with a clean rag.

load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 & rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture & allow the car to start.
