I found this listing while surfing eBay recently.

From a Chinese seller with 4000+ feed back and offering free postage.

The product description in broken english certainly sounds similar to kosutte gin san.

might be worth checking out, especially if your having trouble locating Gin San.

The bottle looks smaller, but his price is lower too. He's probably re-packaging KGS. No harm in that.

Re KGS, I haven't gotten the great results that others report. I can't seem to get enough opacity, so whatever color is underneath it shows through. It does seem to add a more metallic quality when it's rubbed over Alclad or Spaz Stix, though. And I've used it to repair gaps in those and other coatings, including factory and BMF.

If you can get it where you are, you might try SNJ Powders. They're located here in the US. The Aluminum is *spot on* for medium polished aluminum. I'd recommend it if you can get it.
