Thank you once more!
Thanks for that Karlos, I did not read this message properly. My Dad did mention some other brand that was offered as OE but I cannot recollect the name. May be if I dig into his old parts trunk, I might find something interesting. (Last time I did, I found a Wax polish tin that was almost 15 years old, and guess what... it had not gone dry!)

Ah! nostalgia. I can relate some of my experiences with that. If I am right, I think what I might have are the bigger ones. I will try to get the pics this weekend.
