Default Wizards metal polish.

I heard that this was pretty good stuff but after ordering some I could not believe just how good. My dual cone intake was getting dull and was not shining even with my normal ss polish. After I used some of the Wizards cotton coated polish it looks better than it did new. I just thought I would share becuse it worked so well. Tomorrow it will time for the swingarms.

Before with my old cleaner



And after Wizards.

I started working on the rear suspension tonite. Not to bad but it was a lot of work.

This is it. The polish is imbedded in this pink surgical cotton.

Does anyone know if it is available in any stores??? I hate online/mail order. I don't mind paying a fair price,, but in general online ordering carries ridiculous shipping and handling. I much rather pay 7 or 8% sales tax (of which at least some stays local) than pay what frequently amounts to 50-60% S & H. I never heard of Wizards,,and it looks like it does an amazing job. I'd like to clean up my alternator and a few of the cast motor parts. did you sand down the suspension parts before you started polishing??

I bought mine from a seller on fleabay it was the same price as the site but combined shipping is a bit cheaper. And yes I used 800 then 1000 grit sandpaper then the Wizards cotton. I also started the alternator but ran out of time to get more than the top done. I love this stuff I have used buffing wheels and things like that but on a smotth surface this shines like chrome. I have not seen it in any stores at least where I live.
