Acquired a couple old items to go with the car.

One is this old metal can containing tire tube patches.....found in a flea market for about $7.

The other is an old style "Magic Wadding" can, which my son-in-law filled with new wadding before he gave it to me - so have the best of both worlds there.

Always fun to look for period things.

Bob..you out to givesome old sailor a nightmare with the picture of that Nevr Dull can...that stuff was used by them for everyting shiney.

[Ed Griffin]

LOL, thought the same thing when I saw the can Tim. Actually they made us use Brasso in boot but later learned abt the Nevr-Dull. Several reasons that can caught my attention. I have one exactly like it in the garage that someone gave me and didnt relize it was as old as it was until I pulled out a wad and was so dry it looked like fiberglass flying in the air.

One things for sure, that stuff works great, just need elbow grease to go with it.

I do recall the Brasso ......and spit shining those shoes.

You can still buy Brasso in the hardware store. I keep a can around all the time because it also works on other shinny metals. I think they still have the wadding too. I know cleaning supply distributors carry a pre moistened rag for polishing brass and other metals too.

If you need to refill your tube patch can with patches and glue, that's in the hardware store too, in blister packs. Had to buy some last summer to patch the tire on my two wheel cart. Get the same stuff as the old cans. The little metal piece to roughen and clean the tube, glue and several pieces of rubber patches in the blister pack.

Have been using nevrdull on the old car alot. Al the stainless, and the bumpers, and the grill pieces. Plus the shiney stuff in the interior. Good Stuff. Part of the EAGLE 1 line of car care products now.

Nevrdull, best stuff ever for chrome on motorcycles.

[RobertKB]

I've got a can of Nevrdull in my garage that looks exactly the same so the stuff really got around.

Also have sitting around a MoPar polishing cloth tin, a can of genuine Hudson chrome polish, a Wizard brand tire patch kit, and a Valvoline cigarette lighter.
