Does anyone know if this product is available in Canada and where can I find it? If not, I'm close to Michigan and can go there...again, where would I purchase it.

The magic in BKF is oxalic acid. You may find another brand with the same ingredient. I used to use a product named Zud, but it disappeared from shelves here in Michigan.

Canadian Distributors

Shelly,

I contacted the manufacturer last month and they sent me an big list of distributors in Canada. I'll try to attach it here. If it doesn't show up send me an email address and I'll forward it.

Don't know what it is. I assume it doesn’t come in a six pack, huh.

Thanks for you assistance Donna. BTW I used the BKF on the weekend and then waxed it with ZEP yesterday. Can't believe how good it looks and how easy it was.

LOL that may be the case in the USA but not Canada.

So far the one and only chain store I have ever seen/found it is at Home Outfitters.

In case you can't find it in a local store:

Amazon.ca-

Bar Keepers Friend Stainless Steel Cleanser - Powder

The shipping is more than the can, but if you combine it with other things to get free shipping, might be an option.

Like other posters here, Home Hardware definitely sells it....you may have to special order it but in BC it was available at all stores.

Quite a few boat-hull-cleaning products use oxalic acid too - and as they are intended for cleaning fiberglass, they won't do any harm.
