a real auto parts place like NAPA should have it. NAPA sometimes will have a store connected to thier warehouse in larger cities. This store has it all.

Make your own... mix some Ajax with a tad bit of water to gain the consistency you are looking for. It works better than anything that I have bought.

There you go. Again. Expecting a FLAPS to actually carry something other than oil that a real car guy or tech could actually buy and use.
Mud flaps? They got 'em. Cheapass parts that don't really fit or last? They got 'em. Air fresheners? Chain steering wheels? Chinese light bulbs? Head gasket in a can? Fuel line magnets? They got 'em all .................

Make some. Use oil/grease, mix in some of that old fashioned cleaning or scouring power. It'll work just fine.

I used that a few times when I was in the Navy and the closest FLAPS was weeks away. It worked on lapping valves, polishing bores, and when I lapped the side of piston rings I made for a 5th stage piston on a 5000psi compressor.

Good Luck, Don

Let me geuss, the pimped faced kid at the counter never even heard of it. At least that's what I keep running into. Try NAPA

McFadden-Dale Hardware carries Clover Brand. I pick some up about a month ago. Stores are located throughout the LA/Orange County Area.

All of the FLAPS around here carry a little tube of the Permatex brand lapping compound. NAPA/Autozone/Advance/broadway - they all have it.

And that is why the "pimped faced kid" not the Pimpled Face Kid, kept asking for Year, Make and Model of the car its for.
