NXT All Metal Polysh?

[Flawless]

Just had my Chrome wheels installed last week and I want to put a protectant on them. Should I use the polish since it has mild abrasives? The wheels are spotless,so i was wondering if this is what I should use.Thanks

Mike, how can a metal polish be safe for clear coat but still be aggressive enough for all metals? Sounds interesting.

You ask a great question stevet, and rest assured, you can trust in the Meguiar's name to have the know-how to provide products that solve problems with Wow! results!

Meguiar's history and background is creating products for use by professionals in the re-finishing industry and on the assembly lines of auto manufactures. We can borrow this technology to create all kinds of products including a metal polish that will restore oxidized metal surfaces, while at the same time be completely safe and effective on clear coated wheels.



Meguiar's has earned a great reputation for creating products that can clean and remove defects without merely scouring and scratching, or merely filling defects in.


Our R&D department is way ahead of the competition when it comes to creating products that outperform the competition, take our diminishing abrasive technology for example.

Meguiar's pioneered the use of diminishing abrasives in cleaning products painted surfaces starting in 1901 with our furniture cleaners.



We then introduced products for working on automotive finishes leveraging our experience and knowledge gained in those early years.




Today, we are continually creating improved formulas that have the ability to remove defects, (not fill them in as I read on some forums), and create swirl free flawless finishes.



Swirls inflicted by poor quality compounds

When it's important to do it right the first time, it's important to use a product with a name you can trust

Mike,

please don't take offense to this, but a sales pitch using pictures of a corvette and using completely unrelated PAINT care products does me very little when i'm trying to find out info on a wheel cleaner.


I say this because i have silver clear-coated rims. Using a product meant for polished rims sounds very aggressive.

No offense taken Matt.

The point I tried to make in my second post was that Meguiar's has the experience and the technology to create products that can clean, i.e. remove defects, without scratching, whether the surface being treated is polished metal or paint.

Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polysh is non-abrasive and will not scratch polished metal surfaces or painted surfaces.

I understand how you could think that a product intended on removing oxidation from aluminum could sound to aggressive for a clearcoated finish, but our chemists took this into consideration when they created this formula.

Using products created for paint was not a sales pitch, but an demonstration of Meguiar's ability to create products that can remove defects without instilling them at the same time to the most delicate surfaces.

Just as amazing is our product PlastX in that it can remove stains, oxidation and scratches out of a very soft and malleable material like flexible clear plastic like this rear window on a BMW and at the same time be just as effective on rigid plastic windows that are much, much harder. PlastX utilizes a very special diminishing abrasive that enables it to remove small particles of plastic, (in an effort to remove defects), without scratching the surface at the same time.



You mention you have clearcoated rims, while our NXT All Metal Polysh is perfectly safe and effective on this surface, Meguiar's always teaches to evaluate the surface and then let your surface evaluation be your guide when choosing the right products. In the case of a clear coated wheel, while you can use NXT All Metal Polysh, you can also use the same products you would use on your car's finish, this would be clay, paint cleaners, polish and wax. Either approach you choose, you can have confidence that Meguiar's has taken all the precautions to insure you will get good and even great results from your time, money and efforts.

The original question was one of concern over the use of a product that is perceived to contain abrasives, as you probably know, the word abrasives mean a lot of different things to different people. I think it would be safe to say that most people thing of something gritty, sharp and hard when they think of the word abrasive, yet water can be an abrasive as it carved out the Grand Canyon yet we use it to wash our hands everyday and it doesn't scratch our skin.

My second reply in this thread was merely to answer the question and to also help educate all of the thousands of people that will read this thread over time that Meguiar's offers their customers products that are safe and effective on the surfaces they are formulated to be used on because Meguiar's has something most companies in this business don't have and thats the experience and technology gained from over 100 years creating product that outperform the competition.

As I often post...

Sometimes you need to choose a product based on the fact that you can trust the name on the label to mean the product inside the bottle will do the job right the first time, every time, safely and effectively.

Meguiar's #28 All Metal Polish is also marked as safe for coated wheels.

I suspect the chemical action is tuned for metal but safe for paint, much like paint cleaners cut through oxidation but don't harm healthy paint.

The product in my experience is pretty mild in abrasives. While I don't use it on coated wheels, I have tried it in the past on the Nissan wheels. It didn't really do much more than a paint cleaner would have. It seemed ok, though it wouldn't be my first choice for coated wheels. I'd use a paint-specific product first.

I've never used NXT Metal Polysh, but M-28 is one of my faves for metal. It doesn't smell bad, it is really effective considering how mild it is, and it leaves a very high shine and some protection behind.

This last Saturday, one of our forum members brought his car which had stained aluminum rims caused by using a corrosive wheel cleaner. Below is a photo showing how the NXT All Metal Polysh removed the stains and restored brilliance and clarity without scratching the finish.




While this wheel does not have a clear coat finish, the NXT Metal Polysh works the same way on painted rims in that it will remove defects and restore clarity without scratching.

Yesterday I've bought the "HOT RIMS" all whell cleaner AND the "ALL METAL POLYSH" and I'm really happy with the result of the products (BTW, there are chrome bullitt rims on my Mustang). Lately I've bolt on a Flowmaster catback exhaust (aluminized exhaust tips) and the "ALL METAL POLYSH" works great even there (MUCH more shinier than before!!) and it tooked only 5min. of work.

BTW: The pics on my cardomain are BEFORE I used the MEGUIAR'S stuff (and I thought it looks good....... ), well I have to update the pics

[imacarnut]

this stuff is great. i used it on my sister's acura tsx tailpipes (hadn't been washes in weeks) i rubbed and worked it in (inside and out), followed it up with wipe with a mf, and it took all the dirt contamination buildup off without a problem.

Nice

Great product! Try it out for yourself!

Re: NXT All Metal Polysh?

Help!

Can I use M205 on metal surfaces? (wheel hub)

[Murr1525]

Re: NXT All Metal Polysh?

Sure.

Or #105/UC for something stronger.
