    wd-40

    WD-40 uses:

    1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
    2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
    3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
    4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
    5. Keeps flies off cows . (I love this one!)
    6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
    7. Removes lipstick stains.
    8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
    9. Untangles jewellery chains.
    10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
    11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
    12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
    13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
    14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots .
    15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
    16. Keeps scissors working smoothly. (crafters take note)
    17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
    18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for
    those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the
    finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just
    remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
    19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
    quickly! Use WD-40!
    20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast
    slide.
    21. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on
    riding mowers...
    22 Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
    23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to
    open..
    24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
    25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well
    as vinyl bumpers.
    26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
    27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans
    28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for
    easy handling
    29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
    smoothly.
    30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
    31. Removes splattered grease on stove.
    32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
    33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
    34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). (me too)
    35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
    36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
    arthritis pain. (not sure I want to try that one)
    37. Florida's favourite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from
    grills and bumpers.'
    38. The favourite use in the state of New York , WD-40 protects the
    Statue of Liberty from the elements.
    39. 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.
    40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
    stops the itch.
    41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls.. Spray on the mark
    and wipe with a clean rag.
    42. 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! The lipstick is gone!
    43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
    moisture and allow the car to start. (I've done that many a time)
