Metal Polish

Well I have checked and I cannot find MAAS locally. Which polish can I use with comparable results that I can pick up at a local hardware store or Wally World?

Thanks!

Blue Magic, Flitz, Simichrome all are very good if you can't find MAAS

I use Blue Magic in the shop, and MAAS in the house

I can vouch for Blue Magic. That stuff is awesome. I get mine at The Auto Zone. Blue Magic and Maas are the only 2 metal polish I use.

You can also buy straight from Maas online, they've got a holiday promotion going on right now even.

Anyone have any experience with Nev-r-Dull. I used a ton of that when I was in the Navy and still use it on razors and have had what seems to be good success. Just looking for some of our more experienced restorers to weigh in please.

I have 2 cans of it. Haven't touched it for a very (very) long time. I'm not overly impressed for the use on razors. But that's just me. That's why it's been collecting dust.

+1 only I just have 1 can hehehe

You might want to re-read posts 2 & 3, not saying that Max and I are the "more experienced restorers" that you are waiting on, but he and I have fixed a razor or two :)

Thank you Max and Glenn! BTW the proper response to "Have you ever fixed a razor?" would be "Just Once" LOL.

Is Blue Magic nonabrasive like MAAS?

I tried BLUE MAGIC POLISH ....... High luster on scales and razors. Also high ammonia smell but not too bad. it does the job as far as l can see. :gl:
