Alternative to Mothers Billet

[Mickmorris]

So I was nearly out of Mother’s Billet until Ernie12 hooked me up with some. And I had been trying everything as you all know. I seen a post from Barnes Performance about this METALL P100 polish. So I bought some to check it out. And Holy Shit this stuff works great! I am very impressed & that’s coming from someone with a assload of chrome to polish. Thought I would throw it out there for anyone running low on Mother’s. As a side note, I got caught in the rain Sunday coming home from down south. So the bike was a mess earlier today.

Looks good. How much for the polish?

I think the can I got was like $20. Check their website. Barnes Performance Cycles

According to their web site there is a step 1. This is a step 2. Did you do step 1 also?

To clarify are you cleaning chrome or polishing aluminum?

Big difference.

I bought the aluminum polish also which is step1. I was cleaning only the chrome on my chopper today so I didn’t do Step 1. When I do my rims tomorrow I will use the aluminum polish then the P100.

I was cleaning only chrome today which when I ordered both the aluminum polish and the P100 I talked with Andrew and he said just the P100 on chrome.

I agree with HA Y N the Wizards metal polish is the best I have ever used for Aluminum and the Lowes Truck Box polish comes in second.
I believe I have a complete collection of every polish ever made.

Hey Hey, Mick I got this old Husky and it is bad need of paint and looks to be the same color as yours. Do you know the color code name for yours? Under my speedo panel is written "Sunkist" buthaven't had any luck locating any paint with that label. Not a real big deal just curious. I can always custom mix and shoot it. Thanks in advance for the help

Beautiful sled Bro! That color code is Agent Orange from the original BDM paint codes. You can find the list on the HDM Inc. website.

Over it. Looks great.

After the Mothers Billet, was no longer available (sad). I started using White Diamond. I let it dry usually a couple of hours, sometimes overnight. Wipes off easy, and buffs out to a brilliant shine. Easily available at most auto stores, or on line. Works for me...

Do you like the Wizards better than California Custom Purple Polish?

Have not tried it and I don't think I have room in my cabinet for another polish yet

It isn't so much what polish you use, it's how you apply it and take it off. Granite that some polishes are more coarse than others, you'll figure that out when your final polishing
