I have a can of Whiz Lilly Wyte sidewall cleaner. It has no digitalised information on it. Ai says it could be a ghost tin. No pics no ads. The can is full I'm assuming unopened and in my opinion in very good condition. Any information would be helpful.

Interestingly I was in a winnipeg antique mall this weekend and saw that can. I think. I didn't take a picture.
So I added nothing to your info quest other than that they exist elsewhere.
Here is a search result..

Yes thats the information I have as well. Its a general overview given by Ai simply because of the text on the can. A deeper look into it literally reveals nothing except that this company made many products. As for this particular product there is no data. So I'm trying to find out if its a sole survivor. Ai pointed me in this direction. I believe i should be able to find this picture on line now. Unless I have to post it in a different area??

Took me 30 seconds to find one online.
Not that scarce and probably not real valuable...but at least a nice conversation piece.

I just used a word query on DuckDuckGo and used the image tab. Not really sure what youre stuck on. Whiz made a variety of automotive products, tire cleaner was one of them. Another member told you they saw one in an antique mall as well. Probably not a common can, but not rare and valuable either. Hope you enjoy your find!

Troy, the parent company that eventually marketed the WHIZ line of car care products goes all the way back to the late 1880's. I believe their WHIZ brand dates back to the mid-1920's. It's been a highly collectible brand among some gas and oil guys for many years because of the unusual graphics on the WHIZ cans. I think there is almost nothing in the world of petroliana that is "one of a kind". So, I believe you can put that possibility to rest. And, meanwhile...enjoy your can! John

Troy took an extra step for you, here's a pic of a Whiz collection with your can in it.
They're out there buddy.
