The difference between day and night! Almost no polishing required!

Wow! I just used this for all the chrome on my 17 year old Vulcan Nomad 1500. All the chrome was pitted and dull, but no more! Now she's as beautiful as new! The photo shows a small test patch I did on the back of the exhaust where it looked the worst. I literally wiped it down with a rag, buffed it with my mom's cone for 10 seconds, and wiped it down with a microfiber cloth!

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • ---

Doesn't work for me.

I spent about an hour getting results with this stuff on a wheel on my car. I have used a polishing pad on my drill press and have worked with the product for far longer than you need to. In the end, I couldn't tell the difference between a polished wheel and three other wheels that I didn't touch. I've tried several Chemical Guys products and none of them impressed me except Honey Dew Mellon. Styrofoam soap - and that's okay.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great for removing heavy oxidation but not great for great finishes.

They have several different types, so I may have to find another version that gives a nicer finish. The stuff works great but the finish leaves a lot to be desired. I checked everything with moms and it looked great when everything was ready. This material removed heavy oxidation much faster than the mothers. Unfortunately a lot of extra work. There's nothing wrong. I just assumed there would be a really good result, but it doesn't.

Pros
  • Freehand
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Works wonders with old chrome.

It's magic in a bottle. I used this on my 1975 Plymouth Duster's chrome bumpers that needed polishing. They were eaten away by years of neglect and didn't shine like they used to. While this doesn't get rid of the large indentations, it does help bring the overall shine back to the point that from a few feet away, it was no longer apparent that they were indentations. This is a much better alternative to overhauling your chrome. To protect, use Chemical Guys SP 404 16 Light Polish See before…

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

CHEMICAL GUYS Heavy Metal Polish Awesome!

I didn't know what to expect from it. I was watching a video on You Tube and thought I could use something similar in my truck diamond blade tool box. So I got it and started following the directions on the bottle. I used a Porter Cable 7424xp polisher and an orange polishing pad to remove any oxidation. When I was finished I had a highly polished tool box. The product convinced me 100%. This is my secret metal polish that all my friends don't know about. If you need to polish metal and want…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Another great Chemical Guys product!

Very impressed with this product because I have tried many of these products as have you all and this product has really worked. So I bought a more expensive product from this company and it worked too. I was surprised. They pay more, but forego suicide. Removed scratches I didn't think would exist. They did. Some were even deep where it took a couple or a try. It won't remove all deep scratches but now that I've got this result I'm spending more, I'll spend even more to find something. Keep in

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Quality

Decorate the communion plates!

I used this polish to restore a set of aluminum communion plates at my church. Some of them were quite tarnished, obscured by water stains and fingerprints. I've used it with the recommended microfiber sponges and changed them often when they turned black and easily removed tarnish and dirt. Then I polished with new microfiber cloths. After that I didn't even try to do the laundry; I just threw them away. Some of the plates needed a bit of lubrication but now they shine like a mirror! After…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Just buy it already. This stuff works!

I don't normally write reviews but this product had to. It ends today. This polish is great! Good consistency and easy to work with. Apply, wipe off. I used a blue sponge/scraper on dishes I wet (not wet, but wet). My bike is 85% chrome, but it's been neglected for the past few years due to a couple of surgeries on my legs. So there was work to be done here. water is marked. This made it so easy to clean I couldn't believe it. Yes, I've spent hours removing bags, windshields, etc. to clear…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
