I looked in a box last night down in the basement and saw a can or two 
of "Tun-O-Wash" in there,  from back before they changed the formula (when 
the whole CFC thing got messy some years back),  so you can tell I'm not 
using a whole lot of this stuff in recent years...   :-)

Given that,  at some point I'll probably run out of what I have on hand here, 
and will need to get a hold of some of these newer products.  Do you have a 
link handy for where you found the distributor?
