Some/same ideas always come back...

I had to quote myself as the frequent reposts started to bug me... I went down to the cellar to dig out my REALLY OLD stuff.

Well, I couldn't find the Simoniz stick, but I could find the mentioned Gillette/Auto Pudding thingy from 1992 (the AP itself is a lot older actually). It is absolutely useless now, dry and cracked, but an interesting flashback from the past. More interesting, that I found the original Auto Pudding too!

Now the pics:

A bit dry, huh?




Shrunken and bone dry...




The micro-grille was once a great application aid




The Golden Oldies




Even the original applicator is in there!




Well, let's see what's under the rusty lid...




OMG, what a seal! The stuff is perfectly smooth, creamy and usable! Look at that glossy lid & jar inside!




So, two pieces of detailing history... I have to find a nice place for them.
