Subject: Old Info On WD-40 Re-Visited For Your Benifit

'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.'
