We are always discussing what polish to use on aluminium,Peek,Autosol etc,well i use, simply titled Autoglym"metal polish".Peek etc just give a polished aluminium finish,but the Autoglym stuff really does (for me)give it that edge,more like chrome.Does anyone else use it?i can't blow sunshine up it's ar#e enough.

I needed some chroming done but wouldnt have got it done this side of Christmas. In the end a buff up with a finishing mop and then a rub with Peek worked well enough.

just tried this on my Hutch XL24,the chrome is VERY old with fine scratches.It hasn't got rid of the scratches but shined it up a treat.All i'll say is it has a better result on aluminium,it's consistency is more like toothpaste,so not apparently,overly abrasive like Autosol.
