Metal Polish

Swordy · 20th September 2016, 19:30

Hi all,
Engine bay got cleaned in my recent valet and now I want to polish the A/C pipework and anything else I can.
Seen the following products and would like your thoughts;

Autobrite Metal worx paste
AutoSol
Peep

Is a small Dremel type tool the best to buff it up?

Thanks

Paul

I just used Brasso and a soft cloth on my air con pipes and they came up a treat. I wouldn't use anything too harsh as I think the alloy pipes are quite soft.

For other alloy areas (engine mount, alternator, throttle body etc., I used a combination of Brasso and wirewool, with a Dremmel for some of the more stubborn parts.
