as copied from the press release section of the WD 40 websiteas to how WD40 got its name and what it stands for:
WD-40, one of America’s – actually the world’s – favorite products, originated in the space age. What was created in a small lab in San Diego for use on the Atlas missile is now in eight out of 10 U.S. households, sold in 160 countries and used by millions of people every day.
In 1953, three technicians at what was then known as Rocket Chemical Company set out to create a line of rust-preventive solvents and degreasers to protect missile parts from corrosion. It took them 40 attempts to finalize the formula, but it worked. WD-40, which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th try, was born.
The product, used by several aerospace contractors, was seen as a magic elixir worthy of bootlegging. Workers smuggled it out of the factory and discovered new uses, such as protecting tools, lubricating machinery and loosening nuts and bolts. Word traveled, and people quickly realized WD-40 truly was the world’s first multi-purpose problem solver, giving any cleaning agent, lubricant, penetrant, solvent or rust inhibitor a run for its money.
Since then, legions of fans have come to rely on the product in the familiar blue and yellow can. They use it to clean car bumpers of grease, grime and bugs, remove crayon marks and prevent rust on gardening equipment and outdoor furniture.
NOW i can tell the old lady i did something today
