HellRaiser - Or have it go down

04BlackGmc - I've always had good results with mothers for my old polished rims and the things I polished in the engine bay. I have heard people said there are some better ones, but I don't have any experience with them.

I've used, Eagle One, Mothers, Never Dull, Mother's Billet, Flitz . .

Typically, I use them all in stages, start with the hard gritty pastes firsts and move down to the liquids.

blue magic is still the best stuff ive found over the years of trying various polishes.

I also like master formula. very easy to use...but doesnt seem to do much work. seems like it works better to keep newer rims looking new. I only use that on my alumastar 2.0's as it is non abrasive.

interestingly enough...last night i decided to polish up the draglites for my camaro that are sitting in the basement for the winter. They werent in terrible shape but needed some work. i started with master formula but they didnt look that good when done. So i went to the blue magic and it worked a lot better...came out looking new. I then finished them off with master formula.

So i guess how much work needs to be done calls for the appropriate polish.

My last winter project was to polish the aerospace brakes on the stang. i used a dremel with polishing bits. I started off with the most abrasive polish i could find (eagle one) and went over them, then used blue magic, then used master formula. They ended up being more shinny than my brand new alumastars.
