[TR] Auto products - sadly not Triumph

[pethier at comcast.net]

OK, I have it now.  It is a plastic case with red background labeling, mostly white text.

Detailer's Choice
PVA SPONGE CLOTH
KWIK DRY

Rinse out thoroughly before first use.  Re-wet if the Kwik Dry dries out.  After use, clean thoroughly, store damp in the tube.  If dirty, machine wash with mild detergent.  DU NOT USE BLEACH.  DO NOT MACHINE DRY.
