Product: White Diamond Metal Polish
Price: 14.99
Place of Purchase: Advance Auto Parts

So, about a year ago I came across this stuff in my search for a great quailty OTC metal polish easily available when needed. I tried pretty much the whole shelf, Meguiar`s, Mothers, Eagle 1, Blue Magic, Adams, you name it. I was not satisfied with any of the results they have given me. After returning to the store to get an unrelated item, I saw this wondering how I missed it. And curiosity got the best of me so I said "hey, what the hell, i`ll try one more"

Its super easy to use, gives great results, and has a sealant in the mix. My American Racing Torq Thrust II`s have never stayed "good" looking for more than 2 weeks becoming tarnished. I re-polished my wheels today to write this review (also they needed it badly!).

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

White Diamond multipurpose metal polish and sealant is a concentrated, fast-drying, heavy-duty metal polish formulated for hand-cleaning or power buffing of metal surfaces.

Product Features:
-Multipurpose
-Highly concentrated
-Fast drying
-Long lasting
-User-friendly



Lets get started. MAKE SURE YOU SHAKE THE LIVING POOP OUT OF THIS BEFORE USE, IT SEPARATES. 10 seconds violently should do it! Now, I used a Wolfgang finger pocket for hand application with White Diamond, seems to work great for me.

After a quick buff with a MF towel, here are the results.

Conclusion: The pictures are worth a 1000 words, and this is with an 8mp camera phone. Ever since iv`e found it iv`e been an avid user, this stuff works great and gives great results.
The wheels also stay looking great longer with the sealant in the formula. This stuff is underrated & not widely known like the big brands it seems. But its given me better results than anything else on the shelf X10. Anyhow, I hoped you enjoyed my review :D & I would recommend this product :rockon.

Thanks for the review! Surprising you didn`t get good results with all those other brands.

I got decent results from Adams and Mothers but nothing like pictured above.

Judging by the black on the pad in pic #3 they are not. Also coated wheels don`t look tarnished in two weeks.

I had a trucker friend tell me about this and after trying, I agree 100 per cent with you.
