Re: Metal Polishes

I am not sure if they have been discontinued or not. But it appears that way.

The new metal polish will be out soon.

Re: Metal Polishes

Are these still available? If not, what metal polishes are offered at this point? All I'm seeing on the website is Hot Rims All Metal and one in the motorcycle line.

On that note, is Hot Rims Aluminum still available? I loved that stuff.

How are these on stainless?

They work great. I use them on my Borla cat back exhaust.

Re: Metal Polishes

Do these leave the aluminum protected like the Mag & Aluminum or do I need another product to protect them when finished?

There is no protection associated with any of these polishes.

I just saw a write up on auto geek that says the medium cut would be fine to use on chrome. Is that true or would you want to shy away from the medium cut and just use the fine cut?

Medium Cut is perfectly safe on chrome, but keep away from the Heavy Cut when working on chrome as it's aggressive enough to potentially haze the chrome, and removal of that haze can be extremely difficult if not impossible.

Re: Metal Polishes

These use a whole new abrasives set that is pretty high tech. The Heavy Cut is just that - a serious cutting polish for really oxidized metals and the Finish Polish takes the final finish to an extreme level, with the Medium Cut being somewhere in between But really, it's this new abrasives set that really sets them apart.

Now I'm REALLY excited!

Thank you...

Re: Metal Polishes

How do any of these polishes compare to the 'old' M-2805 (All Metal Polish)?

Thanx...

Re: Metal Polishes

Stick with the Finish Cut on chrome.

I'm down with this.

^ hmmm my chrome lips on my G will want this

Quite possibly, yes. Just stay away from the Heavy Cut on chrome as we don't recommend it for that surface. Heavy Cut is great at removing really nasty oxidation and scratches from bare aluminum, but there's too high a chance that it will haze or create very fine scratches in chrome. As you know, chrome is much harder than aluminum, and any haze or scratches you might create with a heavy cutting product will be very difficult to remove. Stick with the Finish Cut on chrome.
