"Glass Wax" for Xmas decorations

[Big Leegr]

I recently thought about how (years ago) Glass Wax (or for those of you a wee bit older-Bon Ami Glass Gloss) was used with stencils to make pictures on the windows. You wiped the stuff on over a stencil and the resulting haze left a picture, the way the "spray snow" stuff is used today. Glass Wax hasn't been made for years (Glass Gloss... even longer) but I was thinking something like ProPolish or a cleaner wax could be used instead.
One of the "benefits" of using Glass Wax for this was that you cleaned the windows by removing the residue after Christmas. (With the 'spray snow' you need something else to clean up the residue afterwards.)

Anyway, no real point here... just reminiscing and passing along a thought to anyone that may still remember this method of decorating and wants to "re-live" a memory.:wreath:snowman:

Man, that brought back memories!!!! I remember using that stuff when I was a kid, heck even after I got married(yrs ago) then it kinda faded away from the store shelves. Snowflakes and all those good stencils. Remember buying it at the 5&10 stores, guess now a days it would be called the Dollar store

This is my place around 1130 this morning, heck I didn't even have a chance to bring in the fall pumpkins in yet and I have snow on ground and its still snowing!!

Nothing wrong with memories -- keeps ya young!!!

I am too young to remember that stuff but it sounds like a pretty neat Idea.

I had forgot all about that stuff.
The little town that I live in had a 5&10 store when I was a kid and a drug store with a soda fountain, Now we have nothing got to drive 14 miles to the strip mall.
I miss the personal touch of the old store where you knew everyone.
Some times I think that not all of the modern ways are better but when it comes to detailing I don't want to go back to dynamite cleaner and Simonize paste wax.
