I've heard a lot of people recommending WD40 on car paint to remove all sorts of things, including spray paint.. it has a lot of the same chemicals that they use to prep a car to paint it and I haven't heard of anyone messing up their paint by using... personally I'd wash it after using it though..

WD40 on the tires.. i dunno about that.. my dad said they used to use.. was it bleach or cooking spray or something.. i'd have to ask him again.. i wouldn't try wd40 on my tires..

Back in the day we used Chlorox......but it darn sure wasn't for traction

It would produce some pretty spectacular burnouts

WD-40 is basically kerosene and a fragrance to make it smell better. That's why it is so cheap.
