Re: IML: Which Imperial do I have?

[<tcrowley2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Bill,
Thanks for your code busting message.  You cleared up a lot for me.  Your answer becomes part of my growing file of information about this car I love so much.  I waxed it this weekend for the first time.  Unfortunately, I ran out of Zymol and couldn't find it any of the 10 places I called.  I think I'll just order it on-line.  Any, Bill, thanks for your effort.  'Twas a big help.
