Warning: the photo of my thumb appears on a website promoting a
boating product, so if you're averse to viewing a commercial site
please don't follow this link:

(happens to be darn good (!) soap. I haven't used anything else for
the last several months and don't anticipate ever doing so again.)


1) Why is your thumb in the pic, Chuck, can't the bottle stand by
itself?

2) What is the fine print your thumb is covering, Chuck?


Excellent question.

Apparently the soap is pretty hot when it is put in the bottles and
sealed up. When the bottles cool off, the sides cave in. I've bought
three bottles of soap since last May, and every time in every shop the
bottles all look like they're puckered up from eating lemons. Heck, I
think the stuff probably has some lemon in it, so maybe that's the
cause.

I was squeezing the bottle to plump it back up for the photo.

The portion of the label under my thumb reads, "Warning, dissolves
fiberglass." :-) not really, of course There's a good view of
the
entire label on the home page for the soap company.

I've heard that Hinckley is inquiring about getting this product
furnished to them under private label with the Hinckley brand on it,
and that would become the officially recommended cleaner for
Hinckleys. Available no doubt for $75-80 a bottle at your local
Hinckley dealer.
