What’s everyone using for a metal polish these days?
 
You'll get a bunch of opinions on this, but I'm still a big fan of Collinite Metal Wax. (No. 850).
 
Carpro Metallicut is new and it is very good.
 
I figured I would but I’m thinking I’ll probably order small samples of the top contenders.
 
Poor boys pro polish and pro polish 2 for more cut. Best two out there IMO!

I would be interested in reading your thoughts if you do. There are so many out there now.

Okay, here’s the polishes I ordered to try out.
Wenol red
Blackfire
Collonite metal wax
Flitz with buffer ball
Britemax final shine
Thanks for your help. If I can find something big enough to test them all out on, I will give my thoughts on each of them. Otherwise I’ll just split the test between mine and the department bike.

Let us know how bad Collinite 850 kicked the others' arses......... ;)
 
I don’t think I have anything that gets rid of tarnish better than Collinite 850
 
850 is on my list. I plan to use it on exhaust piping, not just the tips, but the piping.
 
So far blackfire is coming out on top for aluminum. Did a small section with wenol,Collinite, britemax and blackfire. BF was noticeably brighter and the cloth was much blacker with the same amount of time and effort. Went over all with BF and again, even though they were already polished, the aluminum was much brighter and cloth was blacker than the first pass with the other polishes.
Too be continued
 
I had posted another question in the MC forum but didn’t get many responses. The engine cases on my HD Roadglide have the white corrosion coming up through the coating. Any thoughts on how to detail these?

Awesome! I really enjoy working with the Blackfire Metal Polish too. I was a huge Wenol fan for a long time and have tried a bunch of metal polishes over the years, but Blackfire is my favorite now.

BLACKFIRE Metal Polish 16 oz.
BLACKFIRE Metal Sealant
