Excellent Chrome & Aluminum Polish to Use

[DC Turismo]

To restore chrome and aluminum, use Flitz.

I know many of you have heard of it, and even though it can be pricey, using this along with a Meguiars powerball TRULY brings out an awesome shine on our style rims, valve covers, and anything else chrome. If you have any older cars, this stuff is awesome for bringing rims, bumpers, and trim all back to life, too.

The rims on my Turismo came from a junkyard. In the past I used Blue Magic, Mother's Polish, Meguiar's Aluminum Billet polish, and all have done well. But Flitz outdoes them by far. The clearcoat is still intact on my rims, and they shine like it's been stripped, that is how good this stuff is.

Hope this helps!

Here is their site if you'd like to order or find more info:

Post some pics of what you did. I'd be interested to see the difference.

billy, did you use the paste or the liquid?

[DC Turismo]

Sorry guys, forgot I posted this and haven't followed up.

I don't really have any before or after pics, just after shots. I'll post those if I can dig them up on here somewhere.

I used the paste in the toothpaste looking bottle. I had bought it from abuddy of mine, but I'm 99% sure you can order it through the site I posted.

After getting my wheels looking nice I have to re-polished every other week to keep them that way. I'm using Meguirs billet aluminum polish. Is there a good protector for bare aluminum?

I tried about 15 different things when I did these for my truck, including that Flitz stuff. I always came back to Mothers, some stuff worked as good, but nothing worked any better.

for protecting that polished aluminum you will need zoop seal. Will stop all of those headaches and wear and tear.

I've had great luck using Mothers to get the item polished and then using Maas polish on soft metal to get rid of the polishing swirls that Mother's left behind. I'll be trying Zoop on my intercooler piping since it's pretty soft material.

zoop is incredibly expensive. Personally, I'll continue to re-polish.

Ive always used Wenol for polishing and cleaning aluminum. They have 2 formulas, a polish for unpolished aluminum, and a cleaner/polish for already polished aluminum. Great stuff there.
