I totally agree with this. First I can't stand the smell of WD-40. Some 
say it's got kerosene in it and some other stuff. Kerosene isn't my 
first choice for a cleaning solvent anyway. I definitely don't need or 
want the other stuff in it. Naphtha (white gas) is fabulous. It's a 
great solvent for grease. Won't affect most paints or decals. Cleans up 
great. Doesn't cost much.
