Never-Dull,DO NOT USE!!!!!!!

This is just a warning. Once we got my stacks in we needed to clean them, since there was some oil runs and spots on the chrome. Well my dad had two things for chrome, harley chrome cleaner and this Never-Dull. Well the harley cleaner worked just took more work than the never dull to get the spots off. so i used the never dull on the whole right stack. If you have never used it or seen it its kinda like a wading material u scrub the metal with and then wipe clean. well after doing the whole stack and wiping it clean, you could see my nice scubing marks...... Scratched up my whole stack. So i just figgured i would put out a public notice that dont use this stuff on metal u dont want scratched up.

I use Never-Dull on my wheels all the time(Pro-Comp 6001). It works great, no scratches or swirl marks. I think it depends on the surface you are using it on.

A good polish for aluminum is Mothers Aluminum and Mag Polish. I used it on my car rims and they really bring a good shine for aluminum or mag.

I've used the stuff on chrome a bunch, shines it right up like new. #00 steel wool also brings a nice shine to chrome.

I use the pre-soaped SOS pads to clean soot of the stack elbows on our Peterbilt's. Not sure if it scratches it or not, as they are already scratched some.

+3 on Mother's for alum..............great product

I work on boats - lots of stainless steel to clean. I've tried everything from the most caustic sh-t to the most organic. Most of them suck. The best thing I've found is a slightly worn scotch brite(won't scratch the bright stainless) and a paste of red wine vinegar and baking soda. Go easy with the baking soda though as it too can scratch the stainless. It works well, is cheap, and the best part is it won't harm you. After I get the majority of the tarnish off I use a 3M rubbing/polishing compound.

After you're done you can shave in the reflection - but from what I've found you must apply a significant qty. of elbow grease no matter what route you take.
