Posse Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Autosol is what i used on my wheels what mark siad
Trevmk3 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 autosol all the way mate, used it on all my chrome and my brothers always used it on his motorbikes with chrome on
johnny_h Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Autosol is abrasive and extensive chrome polishing should be avoided.
105Speed Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 I used to be an Autosol man until I tried the Meguires Metal Polish... that brings chrome up a treat !! And it smells nice too. If its real rusty and oxidised then Autosol it first but then go over it with the meguires.. You can get it from Halfrauds.
Bristol Red Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Meguires for me as well... Brings up my alloy header tank & rad a treat! Good on chrome too...
RUSTYPUP Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 If the chrome is in good nick, no abrasive polish should be used. Even chrome polish is bad news as it will scratch the surface which will lead to pits and corrosion. Silvo is the stuff to use. Used to be called duraglit silver. Not abrasive and still comes up a treat. Don't know about the meguires stuff...... might be OK
105Nick Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Autosol, tho at work we give out tins of a chrome polish with new subscriptions entitled 'Blue Job'. Our subs are now handled by an external company, i think the subs girl had enough of hearing the same old comments on the phone
Dalek Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 We all have our favourites Here is mine Belgom Alu IMO Autosol is rubbish in comparison Some blurb... Belgom Alu has been developed specifically to clean, polish and protect aluminium, copper, brass, nickel and chrome. Where it differs from other metal polishes is that it contains wax, which provides a protective film on the surface of the metal plus a shine that will last for weeks. Unique wax-based formula Cleans, polishes and protects Ideal for aluminium, copper, brass, nickel & chrome Easy to use - rub on, polish off Also great for motorcycles, boats and concourse trophies!
