My favorite polishes are Xtreme, Mothers Billet and the pink Metal Wax. I've used pro's that weren't very good and some that are great. Currently, if I feel like spending the cash I use Benson Metal Polishing. I first tried them because of a Billy B referral. The owner used to work at IMCO and I can't match his quality with my off the shelf products.

There use to be a guy that sold liquid green rouge in 1 quart bottles at the Long Beach swap meet, but I haven't seen him there is years. Stuff had a strong smell of ammonia, but it was the shit. If I had known he going to stop coming to the swap meet I would bought a few more bottles.

I wanna see pics of WESTERNAERO after polishing for several hours...
Hey, I forgot the name of the product but it looks like of like fluffy pinkish color fiber glass insulation or pink cotton candy... I have used that stuff to renew previously polished aluminum and it works like magic... FOr real... I think my friend buys it from suppliers on Ebay...
WESTERNAERO, I will try to get the name/link to this stuff...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves. In a Republic, the government is a servant of the people, and obliged to its owner, We the People..

Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but that's a fitting description. I called it cloth above.

Could be, it has been a while since I used it but as I recall I buffed with it just lightly, then wait, then buff it to a shine after the compound in the stuff dries a bit??? Can't recall the process for sure but it worked fantastico... BUT it's kind of expensive as I recall... Originally Posted by Sharp shooter

IF this is the stuff I did use it on previously polished aluminum to bring it back, not old chrome as shown on the site below...
