Letterhead Sign Supply is happy to announce that we are now producing Gilders Soap, as a replacement to the BAR Bon Ami:
2 oz cake, wrapped in a resealable foil package. Perfect for cleaning glass surfaces for gilding. Directions for use: Simply rub damp cloth or sponge on cake. Apply thin coating to surface to be cleaned, allow to dry and buff off residue as soon as dry, listening for the squeaky clean sound.

SI, I know the Bon-Ami is like gold these days, but why are you sitting on it?

BTW....I wrote Bon Ami... Their answer back might help:
Thank you for your recent email regarding your interest in our Bon Ami products. We always appreciate consumer correspondence. Unfortunately, we have discontinued the Bon Ami Cleaning Cake, we stopped making it in the late 90's.
Manufacture of this product will probably not be renewed, only because the Cleaning Cakes were formed and cut by hand and in today's market the cost of that labor would increase the price of the cake beyond what people are willing to pay for a cleaning product. Some people have had success in finding the Bon Ami cake on auction sites online; other than that route there's no definite answer. The Bon Ami Cleaning Powder (NOT Bon Ami Polishing/Powder Cleanser) is the exact same formula as the Cake, it may not be as user friendly but at least the ability and cleaning power is still available.
If you are interested in the Bon Ami Cleaning Powder; the lists that we offer are those retailers that we have contracts through for a particular state, and then each location decides whether or not they have the market for each individual product. If it is not on their shelves they should be able to order it through their distributor. We recommend that you call ahead and speak with a manager to make sure that Bon Ami Cleaning Powder is in stock. You should be able to locate Bon Ami Cleaning Powder at the following participating retailers: Do It Best Hardware and True Value Hardware.
You may also purchase any of the products from our Bon Ami line through Agelong Catalog online at www.agelong.com or call toll free 1-800-892-8022.
Thank you for taking the time to email us and should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Sincerely,
Annie Longberg
Consumer Specialist

Preston, I hope you are just providing information that Bon Ami cake is no longer being made by Bon Ami. It would be ridiculous to search for an alternative when a fine Letterville merchant such as Letterhead Sign Supply now carries just what we need.
Thanks Kristi.
