So then "Sil-Glyde" is more "Glyde" than "Sil". Interesting to know, but not ultimately of effect on my purchase and use decisions. The stuff is still excellent. But there was once better.... In my neck of the woods twenty-five years ago there used to be a substance called "Impac 1000". It was an extremely effective potion. Unfortunately, efficacy does not automatically conflate with business success, and Impac 1000 went out of business. I was therefore forced to fall back on Sil-Glyde. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
