Metal polish

[JASONA70]

just wondering what do you guys recommend to polish aluminum. i polished some IC pipes with some crappy polish i found in the paint isle.

"Blue Magic"...get it at most auto parts stores.
That's what I use to put the final shine on the ceramic chrome parts I do

FLITZ works awesome!!!!!

just remember to get the paste not the liquid!

what about for aluminum rims? mine are in desperate need of a shine, they're dull and have spots of...oxidation?

if anyone knows some really good stuff that will restore neglected aluminum, let me know. polishing from an already clean/relatively reflective surface is one thing...this is another.

JUST FLITZ IT!!! if you can get the Flitz ball that works good or put some elbow grease into it w/ a rag (a mirco-fiber rag is best).

mothers mag and aluminum polish works great on anything i usually encounter. as for heavy stuff, i usually have to buff it out with some compound.

I've tried Blue Magic, Mothers, and Autosol. Out of the three, I like Autosol the best. It seems to take less elbow grease than the others to get equivalent results. Eastwoods carries it . . .

If you're rubbing on RAW aluminum -

"Semi Chrome" pollish is the only way to go.
