Best Chrome Polish EVER!

I know I don't got real chrome rims on my F150, but my Dakota has chrome mag rims. So I was cleaning my tool chest with this Diamond Brite Toolchest Polish... and I decided to experiment and try it on one of the rims to my Dak.

First, let me tell you... I used to use Mothers Chrome and Mag polish... but that took a TON of scrubbing before the rims came out looking good. With this stuff, it takes like 5 minutes and I get 50% better results.

I did all of the rims, and they came out like brand spanking new in a lot less time.

Another thing I like about that Diamond Brite stuff is that it is odorless and it cleans up VERY easily.

Are you talking of the Mothers Mag Polish that comes in those little round cans? I read the label on them and they said NOT to use on chrome surfaces

Got a picture of a bottle of this stuff so I can identify it? Where do you pick it up from?

What?! It's a mag rim... I call them chrome, because they look like chrome... but they are mag rims.

They sell the DiamondBrite polish at Lowes by the toolchests.

I picked up some Diamond Brite a few months back. Only thing I've used it on is the exhaust tips on the Lightning, which are Stainless Steel. The stuff really works GREAT on SS and cleaned them up real fast...lots faster that anything I've used in the past, and I've tried plenty.

I think DB may be somewhat more abrasive than the std "white polishes" like Mothers, SimiChrome, etc.

I do know it separates on the shelf into a clear liquid on top and an off white glop on the bottom of the bottle.

Heavy Metal Polishe is better.

PS: Don't call it Chrome, you're going to get people confused. Call it what it is and that's polished aluminum.
