             (1)  The Company maintains plans under which stock options may be
          awarded.  However, the Company does not maintain a "long-term
          incentive plan," as that term is used in the applicable SEC rules, 
          under which payments are measured by performance of the Company over
          longer than a one-year period.  Common stock is usually valued at fair
          market value on grant day.
</FN>
</TABLE>

     Stock Option Plans

          The Company had in effect the 1991, 1992 and 1994 Stock Option
     Plans (the "1991 Plan", "1992 Plan" and "1994 Plan") that permit the 
     granting of stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the 
     Company.  All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to
     be selected to participate in all Plans.  The Plans are administered by the
     Board of Directors, which selects employees to be participants and 
     determines the type and number of awards to be granted.

          The number of shares available for grant under each of the 1991 and
     1992 Plans is 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The option
     price for stock options granted under both Plans is not less than the fair 
     market value of Common Stock on the date of grant and the term of each 
     option is fixed by the Committee.  Options become exercisable as determined
     by the Board of Directors. 

          In 1994, the Shareholders approved the "1994 Non-Qualified Stock
     Option Plan."  The plan permits the granting of stock options to purchase
     shares of Common Stock of the Company at prices determined by the Board of
     Directors.  Pursuant to such Plan, 400,000 shares have been made available.

(1)  The Value Realized was calculated by determining the difference between the value
     of the shares exercised at the bid price for such shares at the exercise date and the
     cost of those shares.  This does not reflect the sales price that could have been
     received on an actual sale of such shares since factors as trading volume can affect
     the stock market price.

(2)  No SARs were outstanding at December 31, 1995.

(3)  The value of unexercised in-the-money options/SARs at December 31, 1995 was
     calculated by determining the difference between the fair market value of the
     underlying Common Stock at December 31, 1995 ($2.50 per Common Share) and
     the exercise price of the option.  An option is "in-the-money" when the fair market
     value of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option.

Report of the Organization and Compensation Committee

     The Board of Directors (the "Committee") is responsible for setting the 
policies and approving the practices of the Company in its compensation to 
executive officers, including those named in the compensation tables in this 
Proxy Statement.  The Company has no separate compensation committee.

                                    6
<PAGE>
     In carrying out its responsibility in 1995, the Committee considered the
following:

     1.  The Company's financial performance;

     2.  The Company's policies and practices for compensation of employees
         generally;

     3.  The historical philosophy of the Company to reward according to merit,
         commitment to, and performance of, the Company.

     The compensation structure for all employees of the Company, including the
executive officer named in the compensation tables in this Proxy Statement, 
consists of base salary, paid weekly.  Base salary of an employee is designed to
be competitive with base salaries in the Company's geographical area of 
operations.

     Executive officers and other key employees may receive additional cash
bonuses under the variable award plan.  These bonuses are paid from a bonus pool
determined by the Board of Directors based upon the performance of the Company. 
Individual bonuses are determined by an executive's level of responsibility 
within the Company and an executive's performance in any year.

     Executive officers and other key employees may also receive compensation in
the form of stock options.  The number of stock options granted to an executive 
is determined by the Board of Directors and depends principally upon an 
individual's level of responsibility within the Company and performance by the
individual.  Since stock options are granted at the average market price on the 
date of grant and have value only if the market price on the underlying Common 
Stock increases, and since the exercisability of options vests over a five (5) 
year period after the grant date, the Board of Directors believes stock options 
provide an appropriate long-term incentive for those receiving grants, as well 
as stability in the work force.  In addition, the Company encourages stock 
ownership and retention of Common Stock by employees. Mr. Dornau and Mr. Tieger 
are the members of the Board of Directors.

Performance Comparisons

     The following chart compares the cumulative total shareholder return of the
Company for the five years ended December 31, 1995 to the cumulative total
shareholder return of (a) the NASDAQ market US stocks, and (b) the Industry 
Index, which is the NASDAQ Non-Financial Stocks index.

     The Company believes that no single peer index or peer company is totally 
comparable to the Company's business.  The peer indices used to compare total 
shareholder return include companies which supply to diverse markets.  Some of 
the Company's direct competitors are divisions that represent small portions of 
companies and are not included in the peer comparisons since information is not 
available to the Company to show those divisions separately from the parent.

                 EMPLOYEE AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company maintains the stock option and bonus plans described above in 
this Proxy Statement and the group health, hospitalization and life insurance 
plans generally available to all employees.  The Company does not maintain a 
pension plan, profit-sharing plan, 401(k) savings plan, executive death benefit 
plan, executive salary continuation plan, or severance payment plan.

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     On April 4, 1988, the company entered a ten year lease for approximately 
12,000 square feet of office and warehouse facilities in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
from an entity owned by officers of the Company.  The lease requires for 1995 a 
minimum rental of $84,000 with provision for yearly increases based on the 
Consumer Price Index (base:  March 1988=100) and has provision for real estate 
taxes, operating and maintenance charges to be paid by the Company.   
Additionally, the annual rental can increase or decrease 7% annually for every
1% increase or decrease in the lessor's commercial bank's rate from a base of 
8.5%.

     The Registrant has rights to the Star brite name and products only for the 
United States and Canada as a condition to its original public offering.  The
President of the Registrant is the beneficial owner of the three companies which
market Star brite products outside the United States and Canada.  Registrant has
advanced monies to assist in such foreign marketing in order to establish an 
international trademark.  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounts owed to
Registrant by the three companies were approximately $547,000 and $302,000, 
respectively. These amounts have been advanced by the Registrant on open account
with requirements of repayment between five and seven years.  Advances bear 
interest at the rate of interest charged to the Registrant on its bank line of 
credit.

     The Registrant has a business relationship with an entity owned by the 
President whereby research and development of current and new products are 
performed by this entity.  Pursuant to such relationship the Registrant paid 
$30,000 in 1994 and 1995.

     The Company has granted stock options to Peter Dornau in consideration for 
guarantees of bank loans.  (See Security Ownership).  At year end the Registrant
had $125,000 receivable from Mr. Dornau for the exercise of stock options.  The 
Registrant expects to collect such receivable during 1996.

         The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR election of the nominees 
to the  Board of Directors

                                    ITEM 2

                                   AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors has selected, subject to shareholder ratification, 
Infante, Lago & Company., Certified Public Accounts, as the independent auditors
of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1996.

     Accounting services provided by Infante, Lago & Company, Certified Public 
Accountants, included the annual examination of the Company's financial 
statements and assistance and consultation regarding the Company's annual 
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The Board of Directors anticipates that a representative of Infante, Lago &
Company, Certified Public Accountants, will be present at the Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders. He will have the opportunity to make a statement if he so desires,
although this is not anticipated, and he will be available to respond to 
questions.

     The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.

     The Registrant dismissed its independent public accounting firm of Levi, 
Rattner, Cahlin & Company, P.A. which audited the 1994 and 1993 financial 
statements and replaced it with the independent public accounting firm of 
Infante, Lago & Company.

     The firm of Levi, Rattner, Cahlin & Company, P.A.'s report on the financial
statements of Registrant for the years 1994 and 1993 contained no adverse 
opinion, no disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.  The change of accountants was recommended and 
approved by the Board of Directors of Registrant.

     There were no disagreements or "reportable events" (ad described in Item 
304 (a) (i)(iv) and (v) of regulation S-K) with the firm of Levi, Rattner, 
Cahlin & Company, P.A. during the two most recent fiscal years and any 
subsequent interim period through the date of such dismissal (September 26, 
1995) as to any matter of accounting principles, practices, financial statements
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
 
                     SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTING RIGHTS

     Directors and Officers holding Shares of the Common Stock control in the 
aggregate 57.4% of the outstanding Shares, and all intend to vote such Shares in
person or by proxy in favor of all proposals of the Board of Directors to be 
voted upon.  A majority of the Shares voting in favor of a proposal is 
sufficient to adopt it.

     The cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the proxy and related 
materials will be borne by the Company.  Proxies may also be solicited by 
person, by interview and telephone, and brokers and dealers in securities and 
others may be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial 
owners of Shares held of record by  such persons.  Similarly, proxies may be 
solicited by Directors and Officers at a nominal cost to the Company.

     The proxies named in the enclosed form of proxy and their substitutes will 
vote the Shares represented by the enclosed form of proxy, if the proxy appears 
to be valid on its face.

                            SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     It is anticipated that the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held
on or about 9:00 a.m., May 14, 1997.  Shareholder proposals intended to be 
presented at the May 14, 1997 Annual Meeting pursuant to the provisions of Rule 
14a-8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, promulgated under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, must be received at the Company's 
offices at 4041 S. W. 47 Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314, by January 1, 
1997 for inclusion in the Company' s Proxy Statement and Form of Proxy relating
to that meeting.

              Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers
and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of the 
Company's equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in 
ownership with the SEC.  Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders 
are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

     Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or 
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were 
required from those persons, the Company believes that, during fiscal year 1995,
all filings required by its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial 
owners were timely filed.

                                       
                                OTHER BUSINESS

     As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company is not 
aware of any other matter to be presented at the Meeting other than as set forth
herein.   However, if any other matters are properly brought before the Meeting,
the Shares represented by valid proxies will be voted with respect to such 
matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting  them.  A 
majority vote of the Shares outstanding is necessary to approve any such matter.
