    Meguiars Mag and Aluminum polish

    I used it tonight for the first time, very impressed with it. It leaves a shine every bit as good as Mothers Billet polish, and its a few bucks cheaper than Mothers.

    I don't have experience with many others, but that's what I used to polish my engine bay and the set of speedlines after stripping the clear. I always thought it did good work myself.

    Where tha pics at?

    I actually tested the Billet and the Mag against each other in the barrels of the TTII's.
    I doubt pictures would have shown the difference, but there was a bit more 'bling' from the Billet half.
    Honestly, not something most would notice though.

    That turned out pretty good but sorry man just not a Meguires fan. A lot of guys with CCW's have gotten into blingmaster green stuff for cleaning and the blingmaster aluminum polish. I just tried a product by Surf City called killer chrome and this stuff kicks ass.

    Ya, I really can't tell much difference either. I will stick with my Billet, but not disappointed by this either. If Billet doesn't stop rising in price though, who knows.

    I've used both brands on my billet parts on my trailblazer and there really isn't a difference to me. I actually line neverdull in the can better, and after that I have some sealant that came with polish I bought for my chrome rims that works on billet also and it seems to make the shine last longer no matter what polish I use.

    Good job Preston.
    I've always wondered what your car looks like in person.
    I bet is in impeccable condition!

    The black manta on my car could use a good buffing, its not bad, but it still needs machine correction. I take good care of it, it is in very good condition, but like all cars, it has a flaw here and there though. I always laugh when people tell me its a perfect car, there really is no such thing, and I know of too many minor flaws that annoy me and keep it from being perfect

    The Meguiars I pictured above runs $12-13 in my area. The Mother's Billet last time I looked was $16-17 range.

    AFAIK, Mag and Aluminum polish is NOT meant for polished wheels like CCW's. Use BILLET polish, thats what its designed for. I've seen many sets of CCWs dulled down by using the wrong wheel polish....

    Haha!!!
    But you know what, that's only visible to the "trained" eye.
    I'll bet most people won't notice...

    You are right, most people have never noticed the few flaws the car has, which is fine by me. They can think its "perfect" or "flawless" all they want.

    My theory is the car is dirty as hell, you're just really really good at photoshop.
