Can someone refresh my memory?

i remember reading on this forum not that long ago about an aluminum cleaner that came in something similar to looking like toothpaste tube. I am looking to clean my atv rims and normally use mothers but several people chimed in how great it was. Anyone know the name of it and where to get it? I know its vague but thought it was worth a shot.

Sounds like you are talking about simichrome.

At first I thought it might be an IT question.

Yes, Semichrome comes in a tube and is an excellent product. Many motorcycle shops/dealers carry it.

Do you guys think this product is that much better than mothers? I dont have a problem getting it but I will just have to order instead of going in garage and using mothers

I've used simichrome for years off and on on both cars and motorcycles. I was always very pleased with the results. I don't know if its still the case but Harley shops usually had it in stock. Take care!

Try some Flitz. A lot of different aluminum cleaners and polishes can be found at truck stops.

In the Navy we used Nevr dull to polish the brass torpedoes in front of the base.

While on the Forum last year, "bar keepers friend" came up.....purchased it and now I can't get it away from my wife. She uses it on the sink, frig., dishwasher, and everything else. I still use it on tail pipe tips.
