G'Day from NZ
Thought you Guys might be interested: I recently found this full (unused) tin of "Kar-Nu" car polish in an old shed. It must be about 80 years old, as it has a picture of a 28-29 Model A sedan on the tin. Imported into NZ from USA. Can anyone remember this product?

I "think" there's a modern version of that also??

Here's an ad for the polish in Popular Mechanics from 1934:

I'm familiar with Johnson's Car-Nu, but that seems to be a different product. This product I think predates that. I think the Johnson's product came about in the 40s.
