Heard of it, I've got some. Haven't popped the top off yet. Got it in the early days of collecting every wax I could. Still looking for "Paste Glaz".
The story back then was the guy that owns it just pours it once in awhile. No way to verify that. It was a wait to get it so I may have just gotten a story.

I used A LOT of Harly's back in the '80s... that's 1980's for all you eight and nine year old kids out there. 
At that time it was a super nice wax.
I have not used it for fifteen years or so. Back then Harly's had a pretty diverse line of detail products... Don't know about now, although I did look some up about three months ago and did not see anything other than wax and a dressing (perhaps).
Anyway, it was a pretty darned durable "hard" paste wax, and it sure had a nice gloss! It was available in a black can with red & white lines or checkers, and they also sold a bigger can that I think was painted white with a Harly's colored label on the lid.
What's a tin go for these days?

I have used Harly Wax on my black car a couple of times during the past year. I like it a lot. It's very easy to apply and remove: I waxed the entire car, did the swipe test and discovered the wax was ready to be wiped off. It leaves a balanced warm carnauba shine. Beads nicely, too. I'm not sure about the durability, as I didn't push it to the max, but it was still going strong after 5-6 weeks when I polished and waxed the car.
It's a great price ($20 plus shipping). It comes in a nice large 14 oz. tin. As I recall, the shipping cost is the same for two tins as for one. I may be wrong about that, though.
Harly Wax, IMHO, is a solid, under-rated carnauba wax. It is well worth trying out.
