Metal Polish

Ok, before I posted my thoughts on the best polish I wanted to give the Wizard polish a try and see how good it worked. Ok here were my results in order from top to bottom in my oppinion. Now the Victory took first because of the ease of wiping it back down and the shine, the Wizard is an awesome product but I just feel it's not the best however close to the top it was, this is just my oppinion but if you ever get the chance grab a bottle of the Victory All metal Polish and you will not be dis appointed.

1. Victory All metal Poilsh
2. Wizard
3. Flitz

THE PURPLE POLISH IN A ZOOP SEAL KIT WORKED AS GODD AS MAYBE BETTER THAN THE VICTORY POLISH.

haven't used Victory, but do know that Wizards is great for cleaning up the alum. Really brought the shine back to some of my old stuff. Gotta look into the Victory now.

I have a cabinet full of cleaners for billet and i have finally found one that works the best for me. I do like the Wizard's stuff and it is a quality product, but i found something better for less $. i was wondering around Lowes Home Improvement store one day and came across a product called Diamond Brite truck box cleaner. Of course it was located in the truck box section at the end of the tool isle and i picked a bottle up for about 7 bucks. Went i went home I shook this stuff up and tried a small spot under the trees. This stuff is amazing. i rub it in, it turns black and rub it off and it is by far the best polish i have used so far. it shines much bettter than mother's. i like it becuae it wipes off easier than most of the other polishes and best of all it's one of the most inexpensive I have ever tried. Of all places Lowes.....

Move over Wizards, the new polish is in town. Went to Lowes and picked up a bottle of Diamond Brite I believe its called as chopsteak mentioned above. It was 12 dollars and change here in White Marsh MD. The contents in the bottle are seperated so you do need to give it a good shakennn. Tried a small spot on the front forks and WOW, I couldnt stop and did the entire bike. I have always used Wizards and loved their products and to Wizards credit is a great product but this "truck box polish" is the shit. Easy on, easy off and very little is needed to complete the job. Good luck if you give it a try.

Have not used the Victory, but have used a lot of the Wizard products, very good stuff. I ordered some of the metal sealer and put it on a couple of weeks ago, what a great product easy on easy off.

I have tried a lot of polishes, and I think WHITE DIAMOND works the best.
