What's the difference between Filmguard and WD-40?

They smell exactly the same.

Michael,

Aside from WD-40 being useless and probably harmful when used on film and projectors, I find a great difference in the smell. When I've used WD-40 for grease removal, I've had to step away from even well ventilated areas. FilmGuard has no such effect on me.
If you input "filmguard wd40" in the search feature, you'll see previous threads.

WD40 is also great for cleaning Vespa scooter crank cases

DW40 is also excellent for removing sticky residue when replacing linoleum type floor tiles.
