Whats the best compound or product to use?
Thanks, The Nut
In addition to being a car nut I also collect watches. I was getting ready for a car show and did not feel like using Flitz, semi chrome or my other paste polishes and decided to give the polish that I used for my watches. It is called Cape Cod polishing cloths. I started on my polished intake manifold and couldn't get over the shine and how easy it was to use vs the pastes. I thought if this works here why not give it a try on the shiny ceramic side pipes where I tried everything with mixed results. I couldn't believe how much more shine it brought out; close to chrome.
It comes with felt like pads impregnated with something that smells like vanilla. One pad is enough to do the engine or both pipes or all four wheels. I buy it on Amazon in the large tin size. Give it a shot.👍
