My wife couldn't find it for me either the last time she was out. She mentioned the Black Magic,but I had never heard of it. I bought some new stuff the other day that works a lot better than WBW or CSC,but I don't know if it's safe for resin. I bought a jug of "LA's Totally Awesome!!!" from a Dollar General Store. I started a thread in the tips section and another member posted a link to the product. When I get a chance,I'm going to put some resin in it to see if it's safe for it or not.

I just talked to the people last week about a clogged nozzle. Black Magic took over Westley's and will be changing everything to the Black Magic brand. Any Westley's left in stores is old product.

Strips chrome off plastic, cleans resin, and does a great job of cleaning 1:1 tires. I bought a 1/2 gallon container years ago and just buy smaller bottles now and fill the jug. But now I have a clogged sprayer - the reason for calling them - and getting the additional info. I need to soak the sprayer in hot water and see what happens.

I don't think you should call that, Bart. :D The hot water worked. The squirter handle works just fine.

Westley's Bleche White is little more than "Trisodium Phosphate" or "TSP" as it's known in many places. TSP can be found in any paint store catering to furniture refinishers, as furniture restorers and cabinet makers use TSP a lot to clean up raw wood prior to staining and finishing. Generic TSP is lots less expensive than branded products containing TSP. Also, if you can't find generic TSP easily, it can be had in just about any supermarket in the land: "Spic & Span"!!!!
