I think Gumption have used the "hasn't scratched yet' slogan in the past. I don't have any here to confirm that, just a geriatric memory flash. I certainly also remember Bon Ami.

Try SILVO silver polish. Let it dry then polish of with a dry cloth.

I can remember people putting Bon Ami into carburettors to try and bed in piston rings! How it can do that without scratching is a good question.

Google is your friend!


The Bon Ami story.

The childbride says metho & water...spray on..wipe off with newspaper..mirrors too.
amen.........oldbaz.

I am sitting here typing this on my laptop and looking up at the kithcen cupboard where sits 3 'Bon Ami' dove tail jointed wooden boxes that once contained ' one quarter Gr.Cake' and labelled, The Bon Ami Co., New York.

My wife (60) was given these boxes which were handed down from her grand father many many years ago. On the front and back of the boxes there are 3 small yellow chickens (the paint is still bright) with the caption above the chickens reading, "Hasn't scratched yet'.

I often wonder if these are worth anything. Might be able to swap them for a slab for xmas.

cheers,

As far as I knew it was still available. I just finished a bottle, (is that what you call a cardboard cylinder?) Got it on my next shopping list. I used it regulary in the bathroom/kitchen. Was not aware of those other uses as mentioned above.

Mine was given to me by a motel cleaner.

I think JIF may have replaced it...bon ami used to form a paste similar to Jif....brought back some memories with the name Bon Ami...when in boys home we had to use it every Saturday morning and clean all the windows...at that time I didnt care what sort of job it did...i just hated it because of what it represented for Sat. mornings !...lol

God, memories. Haven't thought of Bon Ami for years. Just the same as Ajax Powder - an abrasive, just add water. Jif is the same these days. No doubt we pay a lot more to have it pre-mixed to a paste :-)

GeeTee,
I had stains on the side winsdows from a couple of rusty bolts on the roof rack and used Autosol chrome polish to remove it.
Cheers Dave.

water and newspaper

GT,

Glassies use a product called cerium oxide on glass that is water stained or scratched.

You should be able to pick it from Hogan's Wholesale at Smithfield NSW. I used to deal with them when I was in the trade 25 years ago :-) No connection apart from that...
