Thread: Final Polishing Maas or Mothers, something else?

What do you guys prefer and why?

Also I noticed a product I hadn't seen before, Mothers Billet Polish. Anyone try this? Mothers Billet Metal Polish - Walmart.com

Blue Magic because it WORKS

I use Mother's Aluminum and Mag, works just fine and is not expensive.
I am not sure there is any difference in final result, that can be observed with naked eye at least, between the different popular finishing metal polishes.

Generally I use MAAS ( The tube not the bottle which does not work so well for me.)

I do like Blue Magic headlight polish for a final on plastic scales.

I did not like the Mother's Mag wheel polish. More smell than poor performance.

Flitz is good but hard to find.

All work well and some of the 3M stuff is great.But expensive. You can sometimes get bottom of the bottle ( empty) tag ends from an auto body shop near you.

Everybody's mileage will vary!

Simichrome Polish is really good stuff.

Leading up to that point I have several polishes and which ones I use depends on the job.

My experience is that Maas is thicker/stiffer and a little harder to use - and more expensive than Mothers.
There was also a previous post that paper towels are a little more abrasive and effective/faster than cloth.

For final finish I do like MAAS, it is pricy-er, but you don’t need much just a dab, a tube lasts a long time.

I use Mothers and or Turtle Wax polishing compound to begin hand polishing with Blue Paper Shop Towels and finish with Maas.

I like Simichrome.
