Ive used several other types of metal polish and found this one to be the best by far. It will bring any metal (within reason) back to its original luster with a brilliant shine.

This product is great for cleaning copper. I had gotten some once before at a local antique store but they no longer carry it. I used it on 2 pieces of copper that my mother-in-law had and it had tarnished over the years. This polish brought out the wonderful copper shine. I highly recommend it. It was nice to find it online and this was the cheaper price but cost a few dollars more for shipping but still worth it.

If your looking for the ultimate shine on your Harley chrome, this is the biggest trick in the book... Wipe it on with a suede rag, let it sit (not in the sun) for a few minutes and polish it off with a suede rag (yeah I know itll is still wet, not dry). Do not let it dry or get on painted engine parts. This tube should last you up to a year depending on the amount of chrome... When it rains you just take a rag and wipe over any water spots that did not fall off and your done. Usually a couple of swipes... leaves the chrome feeling extremely smooth... Just a note, for your paint use the S100 WAX.
If you live anywhere in the DFW Metroplex and need it today, visit American Eagle Harley Davidson in Corinth, Texas. They have it in stock and I paid the same price that is here on Amazon. AEHOG has a sister location in Dallas, Texas as well...
One last note I use the Dr. Clean Autodry (thats right!) to clean my bike and give it that initial shine, that alone will give you a great shine with no spots... I also use an air compressor to dry my bikes as much as possible, but you can use a leaf blower... this is an easy way to remove potential water spots...
Another note, if you get this on your engine parts and it dries, youll have a heck of a time getting it off... Here is a secret, use peanut butter to remove it from those areas where you goofed...
Okay you have all my cleaning secrets now...

This is a great fine grain polish. Great for valuable items like jewelery. - btk

As a metal artist, Ive tried many products on the market for polishing metal. I find Simichrome and MAAS metal polish to be some of the best. It will even polish lucite or plexiglas, since I make brass salad servers with Lucite handles, and the metal polish is the only thing that gets both materials nicely polished. I find tarnish to be less a problem and the metal retains its showroom finish longer, which is a plus when I do trade shows. Yes, there is a lot of elbow grease required to get a nice finish, but handpolishing metal on a buffing machine also takes a long time. I find the metal polish to work well on the areas I couldnt mechanically buff smooth. Metal in general is always going to require cleaning and polishing to keep its luster and Im thoroughly sick of working in copper now.

I agree that this is a fine polish.I use Simichrome on all type of metals (including heavy silver plate) and also to restore most hard plastics. It will do a very nice job of polishing the plastic and metal surfaces of iPods, for example, with just about no chance of scratching. In the universe of polishes, it is in fact very mildly abrasive. (An example of a very abrasive metal polish would be Brasso.) Fine metal works and makers of metal housewares private label Simichrome as their own recommended polish. An excellent product with a wide range of uses.

Years ago, when we lived in Philadelphia, we had a large brass door knocker. Each weekend, Id go out with a can of Brasso and try to polish the brass. It was tough work. A medical student saw my plight and let me borrow his tube os Simichrome. Ive never used another polish since. My Army brass never looked so good!

In addition to using Simichrome on metals (would advise, incidentally, against using it on silver plate or regularly on sterling, unless they are very heavily tarnished, since it is very abrasive) I use it to clean and restore the finish on antique, French polished furniture. It does a superb job of removing wax build up and will bring or restore a sound shellac finish to a mirror finish. Also works on polyurathane (sp?) finishes. Do not use on wood finishes if the underlying wood is exposed.

This is by far the best metal polish I have ever used! I make jewelry and I use Silver solder in the process. I use the Simichrome polish to bring my silver items up to a fantastic shine! I reccomend it to all of my customers as a way to keep their items looking like new. It is not the easiest polish to find but it is worth the hunt when you do find it. I found it easier to order from Amazon.com than to run all over town trying to find it.

I had used this product before, and found it to be all that it was described to be for polishing brass, gold, or any other type of metal. I was pleased with the product and the service involved in the purchase and delivery.

This item is an old standby product that I keep in my cupboard all the time. It cleans and polishes silver, jewelry, anything. It does not require a great deal of rubbing, just enough to get it off and buff to a shine. If you put too much on, that will take some effort. You use it "sparingly". I use the plate system to clean my silver, then, I polish and buff with Simichrome. It definitey slows down the tarnishing. Just go online and find all the wonderful uses and reviews for this product. It is one no kitchen should be without.

I bought this item because I have a significant amount of brass hardware to clean in my house. The product works well, but requires a great deal of rubbing to get the brass to shine. Not a product for those who are looking for somethin to chemically "peel" the tarnish away. It will clean. But you need tons and tons of "elbow grease" to accomplish the task.
