I've heard Peeks the best but what do you use?

I've always stuck with Autosol  ???

You shouldn't use Autosol on chrome as it's abrasive  ;)

I use Peek and those Goddards polishing cloths are good , cheap as chips in BM bargains  :D

autosol is ok if you want to shine alloy but its more like a cutting compound or scratch remover than polish !

Normally Peek Liquid type in the tin is best i find. Though saying that iv just ordered some Mothers metal polish as everyone is using it on detailing sites i visit. £12 a tub
Never Autosol if i had to use a paste it would be peek from the tube.
