never found it in wilkos, you probably need to try an independent shop instead

Halfords etc don't sell it motor factor places don't either.  A few said it wasn't a great seller so don't stock it.
Halfords do autoglym metal polish which works really well.

i've always used autosol which i thought was good, but i'm sure i've seen polishing posts somewhere that say peek is the stuff to use. i've plenty of autoglym products but no metal polish. i may have a butchers at that next time i'm in halfords then.

autogimp to harsh

peek is better - paste or liquid - Robert dyas or other hardware shops sell it

goddards cloth are sold in Sainburys in the cleaning section or ask in store

The bigger Tesco stores sell Peek metal polish :daumenhoch:

I've not seen the Goddard cloth though. BITD I'd use Duraglit, orangy coloured impregnated wadding that came in a tin, dunno if you can still buy it though?

i'll look in to tesco's then. i'm going to try and do my ukai rims as shiney side's. i was hoping to get started this week so i'm looking into what to finish polishing them with. with regarding chrome and nickel polishing i used brasso wadding on my goose nickel forks and that removed light rust spots and brought them up very good

he did, as he is me   ;D


the peek is to smooth out the surface - hair line scratches reflect the light in different ways ~ so hence you see the light from different angles - peek is a soft paste that flattens most surfaces and doesn't leave the lines - hence you can get a reflective surface or mirror look - how much of a polished look you want will be down to how long and hard you use it

the goddard cloth helps bring up the surface on most metals as it has a polish in it already - you can make a peeked surface look better or you can simply use a yellow dust - try it all in different ways on different stuff - a goddards cloth can also make powder frames look sweet

me i use peek then goddards cloth and then you can even use house hold polish after witha duster

just try and see what works best

I just use a cloth with the peek, then the goddard's one by itself after (not peek ON the goddard's cloth)

i didn't end up going anywhere to get polish today (the nearest big tesco is 20 mile away) but i did remove my grinding wheels from my bench grinder and fitted some polishing mops to it for the first time ( as their not balanced they don't half vibrate alot). i'll start wet and drying my wheels for shiney side's then i'll defo have to get some peek and goddards
