I'm confused by the directions and I want to make sure I'm doing it correct.



"Rub polish into surface until black residue appears. Continue polishing blasck residue adding more polish as needed, do not let dry. If black residue does not appear stop polishing..."



OK, so when do you know your done or is the black residue endless, when is enough enough and do you buff off like a wax.



I'm probably overthinking this but I just want o do it right!:nixweiss
 
I just used thisw stuff last week on my billet grill. Did a great job. I only took a few seconds to turn black. I rubbed until it was black for a few seconds and then rubbed just s little bit more. You can see the billet starting to shine under the black. That's when you stop and remove black and polish with a clean cloth.



The reason they say that if it doesn't turn black when applied to stop using is because you'd be using the wrong polish for the application. Like if you were using billet polish on aluminum wheels that were clearcoated.



If it does turn black, that means that you are using the right product for the application.



It made my dull aluminum grill look like chrome.

Is the Mother's Billet polish similar to the Aluminum and Mag polish in the way that the A&M is like a paste? Did you have difficulty with the polish all ending up between the bars rather than on them? I saw a small improvement on my grill, but it took forever to get the polish out of the spaces in between the grill...
 
From what i've read The Billet polish is better. But i don't have 1st hand experience with the A and M polish.



The billet polish took my grill from a matte finish to a very shiny finish. You only need a little bit on your cleaning cloth. I just wrap a cloth around my index finger and add just a very small touch of polish on it. That's all i needed and it helped keep it on the bars instead of in between. Doing one bar at a time will help with that too. After i repeated a ssecond time, it becamse even shinier.



BTW - the Billet polish is a creamy type of product.



Good luck with yours.

I use the mother billet on my wheels, I load up a towel with polish and cover the area i'm going to polish, I then hit it with a polishing buff on the cordless drill, the polish works in turning black then the shine starts to come through as the black fades. I continue until most of the black is gone then wipe it with an MF towel.



I've found that the cleaner the wheel (i polish them often) the faster the black fades.
 
The black is a chemical reaction to the nickel present in aluminum (it lets you know it's the proper kind of polish). Basically, the longer you buff, the shinier the aluminum will become.
 
Will this work on polished stainless steele as well? I was about to purchase this product and was unsure. I have a polished stainless rad shroud that has a few scratches that I would like to remove as seen in the picture below:

Is the Mothers Billet Polish the right answer?



Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's not going to work well on stainless - no aluminum polish will since stainless is so much harder.



You'll need a more aggressive polish and some speed from a drill or buffer to make a difference.
