>> I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one
>> Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the

>> 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

>> 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.
