What is the best ali. polish to use on my body panels and where can i get it from ?

Halfords sell,
Autosol
Peek,

Autosol being the more abrasive one of the 2.

It depends on the starting state of your panels as to what you use.

Do a search on here for ally polish and you will find plenty of advice, i particularly like the advice involving plain flour! mad or what

good luck its a bitch

i use brasso, and flour!!
v v good

Yes stu, tried it and its magic, cuts about 1/3 off my polishing time, so i am now measuring it in days rather then weeks

I use brasso neat, 1 bottle usually lasts 2 or 3 polishing sessions. Am still trying to find something to protect it after polishing, no luck yet, any suggestions????????????????????

Has anyone used this stuff? It supposedly protects after it polishes!! One of the kitar magazines rated it quite highly a couple of months ago??!!

what's the idea with using flour to polish stuff? do you sprinkle on a bit while using autosol / something else as well, and a cloth?

Nah,

Polsh on as normal, when you get to the satage of wanting to polish off, dipp your cloth in flour and then polish off, easy peasy!

Thanks for the info guys have got some peek and autosol will try it this weekend with some flour.

I use Peek when I can be bothered to polish. I bought 2 tubes thinking they would just do the bonnet and the first one lasted ages. I,ve just started the second one. Are you using plain or self raising flower, I think the wholemeal stuff might be a bit too grainy. It gives me gas as well. You can use the Peek on painted surfaces as well, a bit like T Cut but thicker.

yours, Pete.

From my experience peek is more of a finishing polish and autosol is more abrasive and will cut through the oxidisation far more easily than peek. Try it on a not too obvious bit first and see how you go.
