Bright metal cleaner

[langus480]

Hello all,


what is the best material out there that would freshen up the bright metal work on the Model A?

Chrome-it. Comes from NC

I use Simichrome polish on the stainless steel parts: radiator cover, headlights, tail lights, etc on '30-'31 cars. On chrome parts I use any top quality auto polish. For years more then I care to remember I've done it this way on my antique cars and Harley's. Unfortunately, in the past, on my Harley's. I have rubbed the chrome off in places by polishing to much!
You won't have to worry about that using simichrome on stainless steel.

Give a look at Nevr-Dull, you can get this in a can from Advance Auto Parts. That is what I have used on my Chrome and works great

A buffing wheel works wonders & your arm won't get tired.

I’ve been using Simichrome for 50+ years, great stuff. Tried several others over the years but keep coming back to Simichrome.

Brasso.

Would "Bar Back" cleaner work?

Ouator Polishing Cleaner works great, used it on our trucks for years, Next best is Nevr-Dull

Try Red Rouge applied with a cloth buffing wheel chucked in an electric drill. Red Rouge does a nice job of shining stainless, chrome and nickle.

Way back when I was an electroplater, we would recommend Mr. Sheen furniture polish for chrome.
