Just checked the e place.  You can get it in 
bottles from 2 oz to 64 oz for far less than 
retail prices.  I just bought a set of all three 
grades in 2 oz bottles for $8.95.
I saw  64 oz bottles of #1 for 12 bucks and 
#2  for 24 bucks and #3 for 26 bucks.
Sounds like a multi lifetime supply.   There were also several 8 0z bottles.
I used to use it on motorcycle helmet face shields and it does work well.
