[TR] Auto products - sadly not Triumph

[Joe Curry]

A word of caution:  Never let Rain-X set full strength on paint.  It will
eat it in a manner similar to brake fluid.  Ask my daughter how we found
that out!

I love Rain-X.  You haven't lived until you see how fast water flies off an
Esprit windshield.  It's so comical you have to get past it fast so you look
at the road, not the watershow.  On a TR4 the effect is a little more
subtle.  Dunno about this NANO stuff.

There is one of them, in a sort of squarish clear-plastic tube.  Don't
remember what the name printed on it is.  Have not opened the package.
Don't know if it has been used or not.  I will try to remember to check the
name when I get home.

The original was probably sourced by Joe Pawlak, perhaps at Blair's Farm and
Fleet...
