So I did some polishing to my strut bar that has never been cleaned in the many years Ive had it on my accord.
Bar did not even shine anymore.

Not much to list, lol.
Lets see.

1. Get a wad of paper towels or a bunch of scrap rags. DO NOT use any towel you intend to keep. Once used for polishing that towel is as good as trash.

2. Smear some of the polish on the bar or the towel

3. Rub the polish over the metal. You will notice the polish turning BLACK immediately. (This meas it's working)

4. Continue to wipe and apply more polish until area is clean. turn your towel to a clean spot as more black comes out of the metal.

5. Use a seperate clean towel to do a final wipe and buff to shine.

Note: the billet polish will not work on ALL metals. If the polish doesn't turn black in the initial rubbing, it means the metal cannot be polished.

BUT, for kicks I polished a OLD rusty bar this morning, Intial wipes cleaned off the oxidation and the polish did not turn black. I kept rubbing at it anyways cause the oxdation was coming off, and eventually once all the oxidation was off, the polish turned black and I was able to polish the bar to a mirror shine.

For kicks, I also used this stuff to polish my sink and tub facet.
ASTOUNDING results, All those yrs of hard water stains came right off.

I will post pics of stuff I polished in my bathroom later for all to see.

 

That looks amazing

My entire car could use that

 

that's awesome. how much was that polish?

The one thing that will strike you at the store is that this polish costs WAY more than the others for the amount you get.
$12.95 at pep boys.
But dang it, the results are nice.
I couldn't take better pics cause my hands were black and I didn't want to handle my camera and get it dirty, so I took quick pics. The bar looks like liquid metal now.

 

blingy.

 

I have used Mother's products for years- very good stuff. I like the California Gold carnuba wax, the semi-liquid one. Not for the lazy, it requires some muscle to apply/buff off. But a very, very nice finish.

This year I bought the chrome/mag cleaner to polish my forged rims. Once again, not easy to use, but the rims looked better than new when I finished. I am originally from SoCal, and a lot of show car owners use the Mother's products. Not cheap or easy to use, but worth the extra cash and work. Wrenchy
