In my experience the Petit is markedly superior to Minwax,

Is that the same Petit that I knew when I was a kid. They made great
model airplane dopes, and glues. I thought they went out of business.

I don't see them around NJ, NY or PA

Don't think so - I typo'd the name, should have 3 "t"s:
Pettit. I don't think they've ever done anything other
than boat paints and varnishes.
