Saturday afternoon my neighbor came home with a brand new Ford Lariat Pickup Truck. Nothing draws attentiveness like a man with his new vehicle. I got up very early that next Sunday morning and while out for my walk, saw that man had spray painted red all colse to 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. Than an additional one 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 so impressed I needed to know more about Wd-40!
'Water Displacement #40'
The product began from a hunt for a rust deterrent solvent and degreaser to safe missile parts. Wd-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.
