Find Best Price at Amazon"For tough stickers where you don't want to scratch the product but want the sticker and adhesive gone, like with my refurbished Xbox One or my stainless steel whisk that I didn't want to scratch up with steel wool, simply scrape off what you can of the paper sticker with a food scraper (what you use while scraping food off your dishes) and then spray anything left with a nice heavy coat of WD-40. • WD-40 is also great at killing and repelling insects, including roaches and ants. Supposedly, you can also use it on your car windows in lieu of Rain-X to water and snow proof your windows, as well as to waterproof your shoes (and give leather a healthy shine), remove stains from carpet and your fridge, and remove oil stains from your garage or driveway concrete."
"Received my can of WD40 this morning the box was adequate you must press the straw head onto the can so be careful when applying the pressure to seat it."
"Stick with the old school one that you have to put the straw in the hole yourself."
"No more squeaky doors!"
"The nozzle was very runny and created a mess often (even with the smart straw), hence the missing star in my rating."
"It’s the little things, you know?"
"Why not order WD-40 from Amazon, nifty top too, I was never great at hanging onto that tiny red straw that you'd have to fit back into the little piece of tape on the side of the bottle."
