Thread: Favorite Polish

Flitz all the way and never look back!

Mother's for me.

Autosol in Australia - it seems to be available in the US too, but you guys have many other alternatives. I use it on plastics that are looking a bit rough too, but it does leave minute scratches on plastic so I'd recommend an automotive cut and polish cream for that kind of work.

I've used 3, autosol, Flitz, and Mothers Mag. I find autosol worked really well, but I hate the smell. Flitz I use when I can't find my Mother's Mag. But Mothers Mag is my favorite.

I found the opposite to be true with the mothers having a really strong smell. I also have problems woth it seperating and needing to be mixed before use. I do think it leaves a slightly better finish than autosol though, but not as good as buffer compounds.

I find all the above to work well! I do like to use a cerium oxide polish. I have found a headlight polishing product to be best for a final on plastics and softer metals. Not cheap but a good performer.
MAAS in the tube for most any polishing. The tube is different than the plastic bottle product which seems a lot coarser. A little goes a long way!.

I have been using Meguiar's "Ultimate Compound" with great success. I use a good car polish afterwards to protect the finish.
