    best polish for metals that I've seen is Metal Gloss...they have a couple vids here...and what I remember is its a black guy doing the demonstration @ SEMA or its at a car show and he made a basic key look like it was chrome plated...was amazing...

      So follow up the links above proved fruitless as they are completely out of stock of all the products as of April 2, 2020. Ironically Amazon had all your products which is where I purchased them. BUT I could not find on your site is the "Vintage Metal Wax" mentioned in the video.

    If you would 'go with the pattern' of the diamond plate, its a lot easier and doesn't rip up the pads as fast. Also I found that a non DA buffer works better, at least for me and the diamond plate on my Pete.
    Diamond Plate is a bummer to polish regardless though

  • @robertthanepohn7559
    @robertthanepohn7559 2 года назад

    Looking forward to trying your polish on my work rig this weekend! I’ve polished the diamond playing on other rigs before but with competitors products and using buffing wheels on a drill. Bought a Milwaukee rotary and will be using that with various normal polishing pads (don’t have any microfiber)

  • @rrzamudio
    @rrzamudio 2 года назад

    This worked great on a camping trailer with a diamond plate front-end protector and the utility box on mounted on the tongue. For the diamond-plate fenders, I probably should have used a buffing wheel or something more abrasive to smooth the pitting caused by rocks and pebbles before moving onto using this.
    Good thing the pad is black. Don’t expect the rinse water to ever be clear after washing it. 😜
    If there is any advice that I can give, it would be to handle anything more than light oxidation using a different method and then use this as the finishing product. But that is if you want complete restoration. You will see good results from this polish regardless. I will be using it at regular intervals now to prevent rather than repair.

  • @applejacks971
    @applejacks971 11 лет назад +4

    Diamond plate pattern is a criss-cross....the pattern is a 45 degree angle left, then right, then left etc...so, to answer your question, it is.
    What I was referring to, is what works best for me. I go with the pattern, thus up and down (lower left up to the upper right) at a 45 degree angle, from one side to the other. The 2nd pass, I start at the lower right, and move up to the upper left.
    To finish I'll go straight across left to right, but that seems to tear my pads quick.

    if the diamond plate has more oxidation, the microfiber pad works?

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  7 лет назад +1

      We recommend the microfiber pads when the oxidation is truly bad. Our Microfiber Orange Cutting Pad is designed to remove on the heaviest of swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. We recommend you try lighter and then work your way up if you don't like the result you get. Also, try it in an inconspicuous area first.

      Hi Angad, yes you can use the heavy metal polish is safe for use on stainless steel, aluminum, copper, gold, silver, bronze, brass, and more. The polish works great for chrome bumpers, stainless steel exhaust tips, aluminum trim, diamond plate, polished wheels, and more. You'll be able to restore a brilliant reflection and shine to metallic coatings like chrome.
