Re: What Works and What Doesn't
This is the aluminum polish:
California Custom sells it. A little goes a long way. In Omaha, a local Freightliner Fleet/Rental company keeps it in stock in their parts department. You only need the deoxidizer for old nasty aluminum. |

Re: What Works and What Doesn't
I have purchased every aluminum polish available. I've gone to the Mid America truck show and ck'd out every brand of polish. Mothers has to be the worst of the bunch, too much work not enough results!
The purple California polish works good. White Diamond that is available at places like Advance AP is good. There's one called the lazy man's wheel polish that works well and they also have a mild acidic cleaner that removes oxidation before you polish. Also another one that works well is Smith's and it comes in different grades of coarseness. |

Re: What Works and What Doesn't
Ok I will stick my 2 pennies in also, Flitz is my metal polish of choice. Hatteras yahts' factory is located here where I live and alot of the guys I know that work on them swear by it. They also make a polish for plastics and fiberglass that works very well. I have used the Zephyr also and was very pleased with it as well. Now if I could just find the time to use them, everyone is not retired you know Mr Larry!

Re: What Works and What Doesn't
What works:
Walmart carb. cleaner, Walmart break parts cleaner, less than $2.50 for a 14.5 Oz. can. Jeff Taylor Performance cylinder wall preparation, calling it a hone job just doesn't give the process full recognition. Pro Trans, Joel's on Joy, and Arnett Transmission. |
