Diamondplate polishing

Anybody use Diamond Brite truck box polish? I just did and it is bar none the best metal polish I've ever used in my life.....and I've tried just about everything.

For those of you that have boxes/diamond plate that has lost it's shine....has that grey dingy look that won't wash off and is a mother bear to make a dent in polishing......this is the stuff for you.

It's distributed by Better Built and sold in the toolbox section at lowes.....absolutely amazing how well it works.

EDIT: My apologies for the blatant sales pitch...but I read a couple of thread about this stuff last night so I thought I'd try it. I am still stunned by how effective it is.

Wow, really? I've been a nerverdull user since I was introduced to it in basic training almost 20 years ago....but it wouldn't touch the grime on my box.

Tha acid test for the diamond brite will come when I break the pontoon out of storage. Nothing....and I mean nothing, has made a dent in the toons.

I work with mostly polished aluminum on my bike not a lot of shiny stuff. I have very little chrome on the bike not a big fan of chrome. But the Never Dull will shine it up to almost a chrome shine.

Thanks for passing that along.

I have a Diamond plate stone guard on the front of my Toy Hauler that needs a good polish.

Thanks for the review! I saw that at Lowes and had it in my cart....then thought for $13 it can't work, as nothing has helped my toolbox in the past! I'll be going to pick it up tom! I also need to shine up the front rock gaurd on the enclosed trailer.
