Mother's Mag and Aluminum vs. All Others

I have been a relatively big fan of Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish for the past few years in my semi-limited use of the product. I have used it to polish my F250 bed rails (nearly 20 feet of diamond plate), my aluminum wheels, and a number of exhausts.

That said, as I come to the end of another tub, I am thinking about different options. The only liquid metal polish I had tried is the power metal that comes with the Mother's PowerBall and was completely underwhelmed.

Is Optimum Metal Polish or P21S Polishing Soap really that much better than the Mother's Mag and Aluminum paste polish?

I appreciate any advice!

I haven't used the other two you mentioned so I can't make a comparison. But Mothers M&A is hard to beat. If your aluminium is in good shape already then Mothers Billet Polish will lift bar again.

I guess the reason I am thinking about trying something different is I am filling up an online shopping cart with a few items and was thinking about adding a new metal polish.

I agree, I have never been let down by the Mother's tub in the past...but there could always be something better out there.

I've never really found Nevr Dull all that impressive. It is decent for quick shine, but only if the service has been recently prepped or has little in the way of contaminants/oxidation.

I would save the money you spend on that and spend it on something else.

Re: Mother's Mag and Aluminum vs. All Others

I use Meg's M&A polish and it does a great job for me with the diamond plating on my two ambulances. Is there anything out there that will help prolong the shine?
