Description: (Taken from Autopia`s website)

This is our legendary metal polish. The Mothers® secret formula balances a brilliant shine with easy use for aluminum wheels and parts, brass, alloys and accessories. Application is just a matter of a clean cloth and a little elbow grease. Mothers® Mag & Aluminum polish is strong enough to put a shine to the most neglected metals and gentle enough to use on a regular basis.

Price:

$9.99 for 10oz
$5.99 for 5oz

Review:

This will be a very short review because I wasn`t really planning to do one. I decided to do a review because I wanted to rave on how great this product worked and share it with my fellow geeks.

I recently bought a used exhaust system for my car. As you can see in the pictures below, it really looked beat up. I wasn`t really expecting to shine any parts of the pipe at all because it looked so dull. I was just hoping to make the exhaust tips perfect.

Before:

I wish I was able to take picture of the tips underneath because it was a lot worse than the ones in the pic (very black and covered with soot).

Procedure:

I didn`t want to ruin any of my microfiber towels so I decided to use a bunch of paper towels. I got some polish from the canister and started scrubbing small sections at a time... After a little while, I would wipe off the excess with a microfiber towel. I would estimate that I covered each area between 2-3 times.

Making progress...

After a few hours of elbow grease (literally), here are the results:

** I know I know I missed a spot (or two). I didn`t see that when I was polishing. I will remove them when I get it installed on the car.

Conclusion:

The pictures speak for themselves. This product works beautifully and it shines up metal extremely well. Consider this product in your next metal polishing detail.
 
This is my current go to metal polish, been having that little jar for years and it`s still works great every time.
 
I have always loved Mother`s Mag & Aluminum Polish! It has been my go to for a long time. I also really like the new Meguiar`s Metal Polish line, but still reach for the Mother`s first.
 
Great review as always. I prefer to use Mothers and NeverDull over every other metal polish I`ve tried.

As a short cut, I attach the small wheel woolies brush to my drill in conjunction with the metal polish.



I can finish my exhaust in no time (beats working by hand).

Do you have any close-ups? I found I got some micro-marring with every metal polish I`ve tried (from 2-3 feet away it`s not noticeable but less than that and I start to notice).
 
Marc, I originally skipped this thread b/c I honestly didn`t expect anything great from Mothers. Seeing is believing. Wow.
