I read on this site that #00 steel wool or emery cloth work well, but what about the polishing compound itself? Any recommendations? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | This set from Eastwood Company works quite well for me. My stainless was in pretty good shape, so it only had very mild scratches. The compounds were sufficient to remove the minor scratches. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 649 | Steelwool is not recommended for polishing chrome, do a search and you will find lots of info, on the topic. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | The best product that I have found is a metal polish/cleaner called Autosol. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 96 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 96 | My favorite is a product called Wenol. Our local car paint store carries it. Work wonders for just polishing by hand. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 69 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 69 | You dont need to polish chrome...it will need cleaned but it will not polish The finish is the best it gets some is beetr then others. But polishing on it does not make it brighter just cleaner.
SS you can polish but it is very tough.
Our company makes a good all metal polish.
Go to Meguiars.com and you will find it there | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 | I use the same stuff as Truckernix, Autosol. Then I generally use Neverdull, afterwards, and to generally keep it up. My headlamp rings are starting to show brass, so I end up using the Neverdull about once a month. If there is lots of detail, I have used bronze wool, and then Neverdull. | | |
