Kornercarver Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I was cleaning out my Mom's garage before she moved and I found this ancient bottle of Classic Wax Finish Restorer. I think it must be from the 1960's but can't be certain. The price is shown as $2.00 so that kind of tells me this item is pretty old. It says it removes yellowing from Plexiglas parts. It kind of sounds like a kind of vintage headlight restoration product. I think I probably bought it for the side curtains of my 1963 Austin Healey Sprite. It also states that it helps to repel radioactive fallout. Very intersting. I took a couple pictures and thought I would share them. I may try using it on headlights and see if it will work.

Marylander Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Funny about the fallout protection. When I was in France last fall I saw this in the "cold war" section of a French WWII museum. THe look on the guy's face just cracked me up. He's like, "uh-oh... big bomb." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thats great.... you might want to shoot that over in an email to Adam... like Bill said, he has a really crazy collection of old detailing products and bottles. He might even know more about that particular product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wow. That had to be the very EARLY 60's. Most likely the 50's. We used to have air raid drills in school when I was a kid. An alarm would sound and we'd have to cover our heads and duck under our desks. Fat lot of good that would have done, but things were really naive back then. I think I probably still have those old books somewhere around here just like the ones Rich showed. Nice find. Thanks for sharing..........and bringing back some long forgotten memories.

Rich -- I remember having air raid drills up until about 4th grade, which was about 1978. That was when I lived in Bethlehem, PA. Even at that age I recall thinking "now how's this going to save us?!?" Ironically it was not long after that when we got the Three Mile Island scare, which WAS a little close for comfort.

jpu471 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 When I was in 6th grade, 1961, we were in a quiet study session when all of a sudden we heard a low whoooo, I can honestly say for a few seconds we all, including the teacher, had the same scary thought then realized it was a vacuum cleaner down the hall. There was nervous laughter after but to this day I remember the incident and the effect it had on all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
