Grab them from an auto stores like "supercheap auto".

Look for the "meguiars" brand - best there is.

I've been using Mothers California Gold, seems to do the trick too.

You really don't need to wax mylar, Peter - Just keep the playfield clean with Novus 2. I think MartyJ used a polish kit from Treasurecove and was pleased with the results on mylar.
