*WD-40 Well, Who Knew...? *
A neighbor had a new pickup truck that someone had spray painted red on
the sides of his beige truck. A 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. I'm impressed! *WD-40* who knew?
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.
