Hi all... anyone know of a way to restore stainless steel (grille & overriders) to a nice mirror finish after its become dull and hazy? I've gone at them a bit with autosol and some of that eagle one wadding polish, but they don't seem to achieve anything. |

I use a polish called "Purple" which is from America. All the Hot Rod cars seem to use it. |

can you get mop attachments for angle grinders? would that work? I don't have a grinder and i reckon a hand-held one would be easier to borrow (or cheaper to buy). I was hoping there'd be some magic product that would bring the shine back by hand

I've tried using kitchen appliance SS cleaner, and it does work! it's a cleaner more than a buff so it would remove alot of crap with a good cloth and elbow grease. It did for my bling bling bits. But yeah power buffing would beat that anyday... |

Not sure if its what I tried, but I think I tried Brasso or Silvo on a small section of my front bumper, worked a treat. |

Not sure where you would get Purple from. The place where I get my NicoShine done sells it but other than that I have never seen at anywhere else. |

makka my father-in-law's a spray painter and couple of years ago he was working in a truck paint shop, and i remember he was talking about stuff they used on the aluminium fuel tanks and bullbars to bring them up like chrome - he probably still has some of it - would that be the same sort of stuff you're talking about? |
