Turtle Wax with "Brillium", Kit, Rally, Dupont and then Rain Dance are the products that I remember.
I used Simonize in the late 60's and early 70's. It was definately a work out.
I have some old metal polish I picked up at an estate sale somewhere. It's solidified & I'm not sure what to add to mix it up again. It looks like dried out Brasso. Any idea what they used in Brasso... mineral oil maybe?
