Hey guys I just got in some stock of metal polish. I only have 4 pairs left (Metal Master) and I guarantee it's the best stuff you'll ever use. :thumb:
I started off using Mothers and used flitz with a powerball for the longest time. I went back to Mothers b/c the powerball left lint and dust everywhere. I like the idea of waxing on a polish and letting it dry to a haze. It's such a treat to see the shine underneath.
It's a 2 part system and truckers and bikers love this stuff.
Look at this article on it:
Metal Master
I sell it $20 per bottle locally.
For you guys here $35 shipped for a bottle of Easy cut and Final shine together so you can get your bling on. 8)

ive never used the power ball... IMO they are a joke.

i said this in another thread but you need to send me a sample. if it will work easier and out perform my Flitz i'll be your best customer. ive been to the link you posted after being told about the best polish (Glare Professional Polish) on the market. i bought $125 worth of their product to test it out... works great but doesnt last anywhere near as long as they claimed it would. needless to say, im back to using my favorite wax.

p.s. i also used to use mother's... Flitz beats mother's hands down!

Flitz is the only polish ive "used" since i was introduced to it and i detail for a living :thumb: ive tried a few other but nothing compares.

let me know how much you love it ;D for best results, use a cotton towel to apply it and buff off the heavier residue, then use the microfibers for the final polish. the more you polish, the brighter it will shine :thumb:

good luck and i know youre going to enjoy working with it ;)

OK, that stuff works good.

Did my Dads truck wheels, they're pretty new, he hasnt hand washed them since the fall.

there was alot of tar and crap in the grooves, and at the base of the spokes.

The pix are phone taken, and not the best - but u get the idea.
my wife had the digital camera, and it snowed that night, but they were clean for at lease an hour!
