SImoniz Chrome Cleaner

Post by T.M. »

Hi,
does anybody still have one of these?
I have 2 cans, one open and one still unopened from 80's or early 90's. :) Don't know exactly, because my dad bought it. I was in kindergarten in that time. :D

Ray Doyle used this chrome cleaner too. ;)

I would have said sixties and sevenies. I used to use it to polish the chrome on dad's Rover 2000 when I were a lad. There was a liquid polish in a similar tin I think too.

That's brilliant!
There is a seller on Ebay asking £50 for an identical unopened tin.

Not sure if it was possible to import to 60's/70's comunist Czechoslovakia anything from England, so I thought it was rather 80's. But I don't know, could be from 70's. ;)
Text on the back of can is also in Czech language!

What, Andrew? £50? It's a treasure! .... No, it's not, I know. :D

Nick, I know your car shines like a bald man's bonce but please only use the brake cleaner on the frigging brakes. Putting Simoniz or any other brand of polish on them is not recommended!! :lol: :applaud:
