Thread: Metal pastes

I do a lot of restores, you'll never go wrong with 3M marine metal restorer/polish. A bit pricey, and only comes in a 1lb. tub.

Other than that, Maas or Flitz would be the second choice.

As said before. If you have rust and gunk, cut it off with a single edge razor blade, then try metal polish and steel wool. Sanding is the last resort, especially with full hollow ground razors that don't offer much steel to be removed before ruining the integrity of the blade. Major sanding can only be directed at wedge type razors. IMHO

Ditto on the 3M Marine. Here's a demo of 5 minutes with a rag and the 3M.




Yes it is a little expensive but as my father-in-law used to say, "they don't make penthouses on the first floor."

For Metal

Simichrome polish, I would be very careful about using this on scales, I just don't

For Metal and most Scales

Flitz
Blue-Magic
MAAS

Really, I hope its in Canada too!

Saying that I found an old bottle back in the summer so I must have got it locally somewhere, I would never have special ordered chrome cleaner just for the car.

I see Glen mentioned scales.
Novus 1,2,3 is safe for celluloiid & bakelite & buffs nicely with small dedicated loose leaf buffs.
