  • WD-40 Uses

    I just found this. So I don’t know how true it is, but it is 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 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

    stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be

    amazed.



    Here are some of the uses:



    1) Protects silver from tarnishing.

    2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.

    3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.

    4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.

    5) Keeps flies off cows.

    6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.

    7) Removes lipstick stains.

    8) Loosens stubborn zippers.

    9) Untangles jewelry chains.

    10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

    11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.

    12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.

    13) Removes tomato stains from clothing.

    14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.

    15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.

    16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.

    17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes

    18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for

    those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't

    seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as

    hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if

    you have a lot of marks.

    19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed

    quickly! Use WD-40!

    20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

    21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling

    on riding mowers.

    22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.

    23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier

    to open.

    24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.

    25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well

    as vinyl bumpers.

    26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.

    27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.

    28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for

    easy handling.

    29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running

    smoothly.

    30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.

    31) Removes splattered grease on stove.

    32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.

    33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.

    34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).

    35) Removes all traces of duct tape.

    36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve

    arthritis pain.

    37) Florida 's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from

    grills and bumpers."

    38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the

    Statue of Liberty from the elements.

    39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you

    will be catching the big one in no time. 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 and

    stops the itch.

    41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark

    and wipe with a clean rag.

    42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed

    and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate

    the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

    43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the

    moisture and allow the car to start.



    P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

    P. P. S. I keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen cabinet over the stove.

    It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the

    burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

        When my twins were little, they created a mural with crayon on their bedroom wall. I used WD40 to remove it. It came right off.

        Next time I wash my car, I'm going to try it on the bug yuk. It never comes off easy and sometimes doesn't come off.

        I think its flammable and I don't know what the flash point is, I'd be alittle concerned about polishing a stove top.

            I heard that this is true years back.
            Another product to remove paint is oven cleaner.

                    I have a friend who swears that WD40 helped his Arthritis, but he had to stop using it when his wife told him that he was sleeping in the shed if he used it again, and mine looked at me and slowly wagged her finger with that look on her face that said "don't go there"
