    Polishing Alloy Bullbars

    I have always been a massive fan of Purple polish for my alloy bar, but I have never been able to achieve a perfect result (still a bit milky/cloudy) until I finally decided to buy the aluminium deoxidiser by the same company.

    I should have bought this stuff sooner! If you think Purple polish is easy, use some of this deoxidiser stuff first and purple polish actually gets easier! I should also add that when I bought this bar a few years ago it looked like it had never seen polish in its life. So to see a 25 year old bar shine like this is pretty good considering what it did look like...

    Just thought I would share

        Hi Sally, I bought it direct from the importer in qld so had to pay for postage. Autopro and autobarn are stockists apparently.



        Its working well on my wheels too (although this pic is before I bought the deoxidiser - Looks even better now I have gone back over them.

              Are you power buffing or elbow greasing?
