Matt H Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I've tried numerous products, including meguiar's, but this is the only metal polish I've used that actually does what it claims to do. T-Cut original Metal polish. I thought I'd post up on here as I'm sure I'm not the only one that has spent lots of money on products that aren't much cop. Here's a photo of my exhaust, which has been on for years, polished up using T-Cut. It even got the inside of the pipe shiney! Not that it will stay that way mind And for those who like photos: Product image for ref http://www.carandcamping.co.uk/shop/images/uploads/METALPOLISH-TMP100.jpg Edited June 11, 2012 by Matt H (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Not tried this one, I've always liked autosol but assuming that things must have moved on I've tried many others recently and they are all pretty poor. I will definitely give this a go. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 As above, I've always used Autosol or Brasso, but I'll give this a look next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Autosol for me, then seal with Blackfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have used the autoglym stuff and it works well but you have to be prepared to put the work in. I think I will go the powder coating route eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 well that has surprised me. I was a secret closet autosol user. I thought I would be laughed at or shunned if I 'came out'. I can now go public, I am gay an autosol user. I tried the meguiars tub on one part of my bike engine and autosol on the other. The autosol side came up better and after 1 month was still good. The meguiars side was peppered with white crud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 the meguires and autoglym stuff are only to seal after using something like autosol. I dont rate meguires anymore due to it creating a white dusty finish. Im going to give some of the above a try as i like treating the engine bay to a good rub out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 There's a few products on here I haven't tried, which I will have a dabble with.

TubbyTwo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Britemax twins are very good as well, not cheap at £20 for the set, but lasts years. http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Britemax_Metal_Twins_8oz_Kit_1.html I usually polish the metal then seal it and it lasts ages.

What's the process. Do you use the cut one first then apply the shine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah its expensive, but lasts ages, considering autosol and the like are £6+ a tube and you need loads to get a good finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
