Oh, I like the sharp sand exfoliating face scrub - could be useful for hairy arsed DIYers!

Somehow that doesn't have quite the appeal of the V8 engined one - rather lacking the sexy touch !!

That reminds me to ask -- in the WD40 or maybe electrolube area, was there a product called "Rocket"? Or did one of them come in a can with a picture of a rocket on it? I'm sure I remember my Dad using the phrase "a squirt of rocket".

It was originally marketed as 'Rocket WD40' - and the can had missile-like chequer-board markings on it...

Can't remember when it lost the 'Rocket' bit ?

I remembered it originally as that too - and I think it said on the tin that it was used on the Atlas rocket project.. A quick google and:

So next time you need to clean your raccoon trap, WD40 it is! ;-)

I still think of it with 'Rocket', hence my one-time sig. about the war on Iraq having 'Rocket WMD-45' and 'political lubricant' in it.

Perhaps Apollo 13...?
