I think Wilson Film Services UK, who made them, may not be in business
anymore. I see some for sale on the Arri Media website and on Ebay.
They were plastic filters, prone to scratching -- most people would
prefer to buy glass versions like Schneider Black Frost or Tiffen
Black ProMist.
You can also try talking to the people here:

Apparently, the superfrost is better than tiffen's version. Usually,
glass is better... but I have not compared them... any thoughts?

I've used Tiffen ProMist many times, and Black ProMist, but only
borrowed the Wilson SupaFrost once a long time ago for one shot, but I
don't recall it being "superior" in any way. SupaFrost fell out of
favor because of the scratching problem.
People say that the Schneider Black Frost is better than the Tiffen
Black ProMist once you get into the stronger grades (the heavier
Tiffen Black ProMists get milkier faster than the Schneider versions)
but I rarely use a strong grade.
Lately I've been using the Tiffen GlimmerGlass, which is like a
ProMist. The lightest grades of GlimmerGlass are the #1, and #2, and
they are more closely matched than the similar ProMist #1/8 and #1/4,
which have a bigger jump between grades. So a GlimmerGlass #1 is like
a ProMist #1/8, very light.
The Schneider filters use "whiter" glass than the Tiffens, which have
a very minor green tint in comparison, though I've never found it to
be a problem.
There is also the new Schneider Classic Black and Double Classic Black
to check out, a combination of a Black Frost and a Classic Soft.

Does the newer filters have the same problem?
On digital, shouldn't white balance with the filter on, take care of
that?
