I've used it on my Bike and it works great. I jus trub it in with a towel and then wipe it off with a clean towel. Follow up with some polish and most stuff will look like new.

Crazy,

I used to think SemiChrome was tops, until i tried GS27 on chrome, stainless trim, and aluminum (especially the ralley wheel rings) - the stuff if promoted as a minor scratch remover on paint...but it isnt too good on it. BUT, it is the absolute best stuff ive ever used on the things mentioned above. Beats them all hands down. I couldnt believe it.! You can get a tube of it at Pep Boys or email me and ill give you an internet ordering place. It runs about $14 for a good size tube. Nothing will beat it.

Dave :cheers:

I like semi chrome but only for aluminum.
If used well the aluminum will shine like chrome.
It doesn't do as well on other metals.

Dave -

Great tip on using GS27. I ordered a tube to try on one of my other cars for a 'minor' scratch and it was, um, useless. i was just about to throw away the remainder when I came across your post today. The stuff actully did a great jobs on my dull and lifeless sidepipes. Best results I've had lately. Thanks!
