Polishing your aluminum? STOP! Best polish ever inside.
#22
I have been using that stuff for 3yrs now. I bought it at the L.A. auto show. A guy was demonstrating it's affects on aluminum cans. I was like WOW and bought it on the spot. I like it alot.

A couple of guys here have had it done, it dulls them slightly but not bad.

It seriously starts cutting the metal as you're wiping it on, so you're not realling "polishing".
The coke can mirror using only a paper towel is pretty amazing. I made a Sacagawea ($1 coin thing) look blindingly polshed with it. If you're going for a Riddler Award/Sema/Barret Jackson auction mirror looking chrome looking finish, I don't even know what that's like. This stuff may do it for you and it may not. It will, however, restore wheels that aren't in the best shape to a great shine. This stuff is perfect for someone who DD's their car. Works super easy/fast with great results.
Thanks for the compliments on the wheels and the last pic guys. I got creative with my exposure times, time delay, and a maglight to make that last picture.

I will definetely have to try this stuff. I'm glad I saw this thread. I really hate polishing my TT2's.
The Adam's polish says it is also "liquid":

Wonder if it's any good?

I have a bottle sitting in my toolbox BlackHawk. It does not work as well as the Master Formula, it's not nearly as potent. The Adam's requires alot more work to get a shine, and it wasn't as nice as my shine is now. I only used it once, and haven't messed with it since, was pretty disappointed with it.

Looks like I'll give this a shot. I currently like my two-step process but cutting it down to one step would be nice... and hopefully the Sealer Gloss will help it keep its polish a bit longer.

There is another liquid compound that works much like what you are describing. "Heavy Metal" that stuff makes all of the parts stores crap paste look like a joke. It comes in fine, med, and rough. I originally found this stuff 10years ago looking for something to clean the billet on my Banshee. It also works kick *** with the power ball, though a little messy.

The Sealer goes on and you'll see what looks like water beads forming on the suface. I left it on for a few minutes and it dried to a wax like film on the metal, wiped off in about 1 minute. Metal was slick as hell afterwards.
I hope you guys have as much luck with this stuff as I have. I wish I had more **** to polish now.

Yeah you can't find it in stores. Gonna make an order I guess.
Since this is a chemical and not an abrasive polish, does it have any long term side effects? If you used this over a few years does it eat away at the metal?
