Removing “paint rub” from another car

Picture this: You return to your parked car and find that while you were gone, another vehicle got a little too close for comfort. Fortunately, there’s no dent, but your car now has a “paint rub” stain from the other car. To remove paint stains from your car and restore its original finish, spray the affected area with WD-40, wait a few seconds, then wipe off with a clean cloth.

Clean carpet stains

Don’t let ink or other stains ruin your fine carpet. Spray the stain with WD-40, wait a minute or two, then use your regular carpet cleaner or gently clean with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Continue until the stain is completely gone.

Keep wooden tool handles free of splinters

No tool can last forever, but you can extend the life of your wooden-handled tools if you prevent them from splintering. Simply rub a generous amount of WD-40 into the wood. It protects the wood from moisture and other corrosive elements and keeps it smooth and splinter-free for the life of the tool.
