Glass Wax... This is the stuff Richard Cox and I have been talking about...
FYI... He wrote me the following:

>>>I just did some research on the 'net and I found out that the Gold Seal
company was founded in 1942 by a Harold Schafer (1912 -   ) .  The most
popular products of the company were Glass Wax, Mr. Bubbly and Snowy Bleach.
The company was sold to AirWick in 1986.  Many of the Gold Seal products are
still on the market today.  I'll  have to check them out on the next trip to
the super.  I can't place any of the above items but who knows, they may
still be there.  Maybe Glass Wax outlived Arthur (Godfrey, who promoted the
product).  BTW, Schafer's son is the current governor of North Dakota.<<<

Anybody see this stuff on the shelves in the mainland?  I haven't seen it
here in Hawaii, but then there are a lot of things that aren't over here.
this may be the United States, but it ain't America.  This is definitely
Polynesia.

Don't know if Glass Wax is as good on windows as you guys say Rain-X is, but
maybe it doesn't eat rubber and mess up the car.  Maybe.

Wax?
