    WD40 was first introduced in 1968 although I am not 100% to expensive to buy because paraffin can do better job and its cheap.

        WD-40 - A must read and share

        Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient
        of WD-40 is? Don't lie and don't cheat.

        WD-40:

        Who knew? I had a neighbour who bought a new car. I got up very early
        one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all
        around the sides of his car (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 neighbour 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 on the car. 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 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.

        WD-40 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 them slippery.
        5. Keeps flies off cows . (I love this one!)
        6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
        7. Removes lipstick stains.

        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 playground 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 favourite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from
        grills and bumpers.'
        38. The favourite 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 rewash. Presto! The 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
        Dont taste or smell like it

            48. Hand cleaner.


            Use it all the time when I've been working on a car. Beats the hell out of abrasive hand cleaners (washing powder & washing up liquid mix for you MacGyvers out there)
