Default Flitz metal polish.

I just returned from the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas and they had a booth setup. The demo given was amazing. As anyone tried it and how were the "real world" results?

Flitz is awesome. I have used it on every surface out there, all with excellent results. Made for polishing bare metals, jewelry, etc, but have used it on paint and plastic as well. I once polished a bare metal airplane with it and it sat in an open front hangar, took about 6 months before it needed polished again.

Flitz is a well known product that has been around for years and it works very well. I always keep some around the shop.

Works great on stainless, brass and on gold jewelery, in the shop, in the bathroom and in the kitchen.

Used it on lightly fogged head lights, works for light oxidation. Not very good results for heavy oxidation.

My wife can tell when I polish my wedding ring with it, and I don't even need to show her, it just makes my wedding band sparkle.

Polish away!!!

good stuff, I have used it for polishing trigger components and feed ramps on barrels for rifles and pistols.

Can anyone comment on how it compares to Autosol products? I need to upgrade from my Mothers stuff and Autosol seems to get rave reviews.

Haha, I think I've learned that is a given. Its a leftover impulse buy from high school. Its served its purpose, but man does that stuff tarnish quick!
