    Default Two new Turtle Wax polishing compounds

    I was @ Walmart today looking for plastic polishing products in the automotive section, when I noticed two Turtle Wax polishing compounds, I have not seen those before. I decided to give them a try especially since they were cheaper than Mother's which I use extensively. The first one was Chrome Polish & Rust remover, the second Polishing compound and scratch remover. I tried them and surprise they actually work great on razors.
    Those two do not substitute Mother's /Maas, but they do something that both Mother's and Maas do not. The Chrome Polish and Rust remover actually removes rust, I had a razor with very rusty tang on which I applied the compound according to the directions, and it indeed lifted the rust without coloring the blade gray like all other rust removers do.

    The polishing compound and scratch remover, is the next step after Mother's /Maas if you want to take your mirror finish one step beyond. It does not have the same abrasive power like Maas/Mother's , there is no black residue on the cloth, but the mirror is one step brighter than what the other polishing compounds give. It seems to work on scales too, I wiped a pair of old horn scales and they polished very well.

    As far as I am aware those are new, at least I have not seen them before, but if others would be willing to give them a try and post their experience, we might have two nice and useful products in out arsenal.
