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 de greaser 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 Corsair 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. Its the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as

Just tried out use # 34 - Says 'keeps pigeons off balcony-they hate the smell' I tried it for doves and it did not work. It did work for removing stains on the knees of my 5 year-olds (white) T-ball pants!

And as for you BAM05 I did not write this, My boss gave it to me. I wish I had this much time on my hands!!!!!

Wondering if anyone else has tried any of these things and wether it worked or not...We could start a kind of 'Mythbuster' thing...or not.
