WD-40...

It's safe to say the whole world knows about WD-40.
Sold in cans as a water-displacing spray, people probably use it more for it's penetrating oil lubricating properties than it's ability to repel water.
Having dozens of household uses, WD-40 gets squirted into sticking locks, squeaky wheels and stuck door hinges. If someone spray painted your car with graffiti, WD-40 and a soft cloth can usually liquefy the paint and remove it without harming your cars finish.

It's truly amazing stuff... and I read the 39 other attempts at creating this product failed. Hence the name WD-40. I can only imagine that WD-39 sure must have been nearly the same. Surely...

I disagree with what WD 40 stands for sigh it's Weapon (of) Destruction 40 (days), and was designed for military use, spray it near a vehicle & 40 days later you have to change every bit of rubber on the vehicle professor doh

I know the solvent in WD-40 is bad for certain types of plastic. Rubber products too?

Chat, yes rubber extremely vulnerable, they used to attach the plastic tube to the can with a rubber band, that rotted away as soon as you used it once. It was popular in the UK in the 70's, everyone was spraying over there car engines to make them shiny, a month later all the hoses would disintegrate doh

Hello chatillion wave I ve used WD 40 numerous times, but just on moving metal parts, worked excellent. But can see it playing havoc with plastics, and rubber, just look at how at how oil based products can remove paint off painted soft plastic products,wow .
