Florida 's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs
from
Grills and bumpers."

The favorite use in the state of New York --WD-40 protects
the
Statue of Liberty from the elements.

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.

Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away
immediately and stops the itch.

WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the
mark and wipe with a clean rag.

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! Lipstick is gone.

If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would
displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor.

Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks. It won't harm
the finish and you won't have to scrub hard.

Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
quickly.
Use WD-40.

P. S. The basic ingredient is Fish Oil

yes but did you know that FLUID FILM works MUCH better on metal than the
Water Displacer that is good for as cold as -40.why do you think it is
called "WD-40"?fluid film stinks BUT works real good on loosening metal
stuff.i swear by fluid film.

I tried using it to get those ugly black burnt looking spots off my
glass top stove and it didn't work so well. I read that it would clean
it somewhere.

Ty on the stove cleaining and ya know I was thinking if the wd40 makes
the horse mane and tail all shiny - will it work on the rest of the
horse? And if so - I would assume you would apply it after putting the
saddle on - otherwise it would be like armoralling your stearing wheel
and then trying to drive - LOLOL

ok but remember it also build's up and periodically need's to be removed
from some of these thing's but yes it is great for crayon and scuff
mark's and starting car's [spray it in the carb]or drying the dist.
excellent for removing sticky stuff i.e. duct tape stickers etc.. i
don't recommend it for hinges and such[squeek's ]just use old fashioned
grease you won't need to clean it off and it last's along time too

WD-40 works great as a lubricator for things like door hinges, fan
motors, etc. However, it will evaporate and doesn’t continue to
lubricate for a long time.

But here’s a tip:

If you spray WD-40 into something like a hinge or bearing first, before
adding a drop of regular motor oil, the WD-40 will help the regular oil
find its way deeper into the bearing surfaces. And then the regular
oil will keep it lubricated for a longer time.

Often if you just put the drop of regular oil on it, the oil won’t
penetrate as deeply on its own. So it’s good to use the combination,
because the WD-40 by itself won’t last nearly as long as the regular oil
before it evaporates. Together they solve both problems. WD-40 goes on
first, then the drop of regular oil.

I didn't know about the fishing. I'll give it a try.

Did you know the best thing to loosen pliers, side cuts, and needle nose
pliers is lighter fluid? It cleans real well; and provides a little
lubricant.
