I used to own a reconditioning business. Actually got started in it in the late 1960's and had a used car business and an auto recon business around 1974 or thereabouts till 1978. I used a lot of liquid ebony. It was great stuff and if used properly and if the paint wasn't too far gone it often eliminated the need to first use compound. Is it still being made???by Tudo - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
