I`ve been using Optimum Metal Polish on chrome wheels, exhaust and anything that looks like chrome and loved it!
Well, it`s almost finished now. I would like to try something else. Perhaps a little stronger? Easier to work with? Any other favorite metal polishes out there that does everything from exhaust to wheels?

I`m on my 3rd bottle of Optimum Metal Polish. I don`t see a reason to switch.

Hey Scott, Is Optimum that much better than Mothers? I have been buying more and more of their products (Optimum). So far so good.

Used Optimum Metal Polish yesterday on the SS megs tips on my Marauder. Don`t see a reason to use anything else. Look like chrome!!

I bought some last year and have yet to use it. Got a special job for it coming soon, so it WILL get tested!

Not having used Mothers in a few years and therefore not being able to do a direct side by side comparison it is hard to say exactly "how much better" it is, but OMP works very fast and leaves metal looking superb. I believe it was originally developed for Victory Motorcycles (Optimum makes their house brand of detailing products) so it is definitely a metal specific formulation.

I`ve also been using Optimum for a while now and have been very happy with it....it is rather mild though and there have been several times were a more aggressive polish has been needed. ;)

Another vote for Optiumum Metal Polish
if it works great for you now, why switch?
on a side note, it does work TOO well...lol, on my beater honda accord, it had the gold exhaust tips...well, now they are silver because the polish took the fake gold stuff right off, LOL! I think it looks better that way anyway, lmao.

What about the S100 Total Restorer? Any takes on that ?
I heard it`s the same as the P21S Finish Restorer?

For the guys that have posted here and are fans of the Opt Metal Polish can you please tell me what you like about it over your previous go to metal polish....
If you wouldn`t mind telling me what your previous go to metal polish was that would help me out as well
TIA
