I normally use the AL & Mag polish.

I haven't tried the simichrome, but tried Wenol and had decent results. I'm now using Maas, found at numerous retailers (bought mine at Home Depot) and it works well. The only solution to water drops is a dry towel

Well tried the Simichrome out last night on my wheels and Mag, and it does work very well.....I'd gander ot say, at least as well as Mothers Billet, if not better. Nice consistency, and easy to apply, and as ET mentioned, leaves a nice protective coating....don't need to use much to get the job done. Looks like I will continue to try this stuff!

Here is a quote I found that says there is a small amount of grit in it.
Any truth to this and would it be the reason it works so good? Would it be better to hit it with some Mothers after using the Semichrome?
Removing Light Scratches in Polished Aluminum: This requires a polish which has a small amount of grit or "cut" in it. For this we find Happich Simichrome Polish to be very good.
