That familiar can in your garage carries a story few people know. WD-40 wasn’t created to be famous—it was born from failure, frustration, and persistence.

The name, WD-40, came from a lab note: “Water Displacement, 40th formula.” It wasn’t a marketing ploy; it was a record of persistence and problem-solving.
Initially, the product served a practical, industrial purpose. Mechanics used it to protect machinery and free stuck components. Its benefits were technical but essential.
