What is the main ingredient of WD-40 ?

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main

ingredient of WD-40  is?

Who knew...I had a neighbor who bought a a new pickup.  I got

up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had

spray painted red all around the sides ofhis 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 pain beautifully and did

not harm hispaint 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 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 your's is plastic, it works just as well as glass.  It's a

miracle!  Then try it on your stove top....voila!  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.
