WD-40.   

Who knew; I  had a neighbor who bought a new pickup.   I got up very early one  Sunday morning and saw that  someone had spray painted red all around the  sides of this 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 paint  beautifully and did not harm  his paint 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 yours is plastic, it  works just as well as glass.   It's a miracle!  Then  try it on your stove top ...  Viola!   It's now shinier  than it's ever been.  You'll be amazed.

44. When I used to fly IFR all of the time, I would apply WD-40 to the leading edges and the propeller in hopes that ice would avoid sticking. I think it works, but that was not a scientific experiment, so don't count on it or go aiming for ice, but this should help for at least a short time avoiding ice from sticking as the WD would leave a slippery coating on the places that I sprayed it.

45. Clean the belly of your plane with it and an additional benefit is that the WD cuts the grease, oil, and fuel while lubricating the belly screws making them easier to remove at annual time! Wear eye protection and get a creeper to lay on and move around under your plane.
