I used Mother's Aluminum Polish for years (Red Jar) and always had good success, then I switched to Mother's "Billet" Aluminum Polish, which had more cut and produced even better results.

About 3 years ago, I was talking to a guy who drove Harleys. He told me the best metal polish to use was Simichrome.

I bought some at a Harley dealership and it's my go-to-stuff. Simichrome gives results like this:

What do you like???
 
A couple years ago I tried the Blue Magic Metal Polish and I didnt care for it. Now I use either Eagle One Never Dull or Meguiars Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum Polish. :smile:
 
Hand's down the Blackfire Metal Polishes are the best I have ever used. I do like the Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish as a lower cost alternative.
 
Apply P21S Total Auto Wash or P21S Polishing Soap (solid, clay-based polish that applies with its own sponge) to wheel surfaces and let soak in, agitate with a long-handled boar?s haired brush before rinsing

To remove tough stains such as oxidation and acid rain water spots, use a cutting polish (Wenol Original (Red tube) or a fine metal polish (Auto Wenol Blue tube) to remove rain water spotting and produce a bright shine (follow Wenol Original with Auto Wenol) apply products with a 100% DFT cotton micro towel

Magnesium or aluminium wheels can be polished with a water-soluble polish (Happich Semichrome Polish, ECP Showman Polish or Autosol)
 
Simichrome? I had not heard that name since my brother used it back in the 60's - I had totally forgotten about it and assumed it wasn't available. I'll have to start looking for it! :thumbup:

Otherwise, my favorites are Flitz and in certain applications, Eagle One Nano Polish. Love the PS21 Polishing Soap, too. I earned some household points by using it to clean up some copper bottom cookware! ;)

So many polishes to try...so little time. Boo Hoo

Yeah, Simichrome can be bought at any Harley dealer or Marbeck appliance. They always keep it in stock.
