Mothers metal polish
« on: 29 August 2014, 18:13 »
Used some of this the other day on the Milltek was well pleased with the results. Any others use it?

That's come up fantastic  :cool:

Yep I swear by Mothers Mag and Aluminium Polish :smiley:

Switched to it several months ago.  Previously used Autosol or Auto Finesse metal polish with 000 steel wool on stubborn carbon deposits, but was never impressed with the result.  Mothers is miles better and no need for wire wool, it gets everything off.

Think I'll get some of the Billet for the wheels now as well.

What wheels have you got, are they diamond cut alloys?  If so, is there any point in using metal polish such as Billet on lacquered diamond cuts?  Is it not really only for use on bare polished or brushed metal?

Britemax Metal Twins is good stuff too, two part process can be a nuisance though?
