Er, in 8 words, I wouldn't polish one of mine with it.
Seriously, there are far better products on the market; I like Chemical Guys stuff. Poor Boys and Menzerna also gets the thumbs up from me.

I got this thing! My grandad's, you're supposed to wash it once it's manky and then dip it in something glow in the dark, doubt I'll be able to buy the liquid these days.

Nenett -- wow..... that really takes me back! I suggest very early 1960s , minimum. My Dad had one and for dust , anywhere, use to be very good. I think Frost's still sell something similar, the modern version anyway, and the fluid!

Think you might have stumbled on a good idea for a thread Coxy.
Show us your products from the past with pictures!! It'll encourage us all to have a rummage and maybe find some other hidden gems, or praps just have a bit of a tidy up!
