Topic: What's In A Name

[KarlG]

I keep coming across the term Cif and/or Jif. I wanted to buy some of this stuff to clean up my C5s, so I went into the IN to find out where I could buy it in Germany. Looking in Wikipedia I found out it's sold under various names varying from country to country, in Germany it's sold under the name Viss.

Low a behold this is the dammed stuff I have sitting in my kitchen.

Even using CIF, JIF,VISS you still need plenty of that other commodity ,ELBOW GREASE. In other words, its still hard work to clean the C5 bodyshell unfortunately.

Hi there Karl the cream used to be called jif but  they chainged the name to cif but it's the same cream ....

#2's shell was well cleaned with lots of elbow gease mixed with scouring powder (Vim),    but scouring powder is very abrasive hence the search for Cif.

@ Chas. Cif is still known as Jif in quite a few countries. The Viss container is identical in shape and colour to the Cif's, even the red i dot has been copied.
