Sometimes the old fixes are the best

Just taught the wife something she didn't know. She was trying to clean up some badly tarnished brass door fixings - letterboxes, doorknobs and other stuff - and was making rather heavy weather of it with the Brasso. I suggested she might like to try something from the garage. Solvol Autosol....
OMG, she said (or words to that effect), I never knew you could get anything like this. How long has this magic stuff been out?
Oh, about half a century, I said. I bought my first tube in 1966. (In fact the company's website says it's been around since 1929, but that might be just the company, not the product.) Our grotty old motorbikes just wouldn't have been the same without it. And we certainly couldn't have persuaded so many girls to climb onto the pillion seat.
Whoops, maybe I shouldn't have said that bit?

). I still have half a tube in the garage along with my Gunk and Simoniz.
