    Cool Old, vintage, antique, obsolete detailing products

    A friend was cleaning his Dad's shop cabinets and found some older products that he thought I may like. He knew I like to collect older detailing stuff, especially the odd ball things.

    Here is what he gave me.
    Classic Mag Brite, Simichrome, and Blue Magic.


    Westley's Auto Polish made with Dimethylpolysiloxane so you know it is good stuff.



    I know some members collect vintage products, so I figured we need a thread for all the old or goofy products you may have stashed away. Post them up.

    Yeah, I remember some of that stuff from when I was in high school in the early 1980's. Heck I even remember when we had Kmart stores around here....

    When I worked for a Pontiac dealer in 1964_1965 we used Westley polish on new cars.

    I've got a tin of it somewhere, I can't even remember what for--it wasn't for cars IIRC, some other hobby (that I got it).
