Last week's trivia answer

Born in 1953, I'm based in San Diego. My wares are under the sink, in the garage and in toolboxes. It took 40 tries to develop my flagship product (which shares my name) as a Water Displacement formula. My Web site lists more than 2,000 uses for it, such as dissolving toupee tape residue, keeping pigeons off balconies and removing a python from a bus. My other brands include 3-IN-ONE Oil, Lava, X-14 and Solvol cleaners, 2000 Flushes, Carpet Fresh and Spot Shot. My new Smart Straw feature can help you avoid losing that little red straw. Who am I?
