I got some time after washing my Mom's new pre-owned G37x yesterday and figured I would get the exhaust tips up to AG standards. When she bought this car last week and I saw it at the dealership, I knew the tips needed some attention in a bad way!
Products used were P21s Polishing Soap (Cleaning and initial polish), Menzerna Polishing Cream (Fine metal polish) and finally, I sealed in the shine with Sonus Aluminum Sealant which works on chrome and stainless steel as well as just aluminum. The Sonus Aluminum Sealant is polycharged. This was my first time using these three products.
Notes:
1. I could have probably stopped after the P21s, but felt the need to go further to amp up the shine. I feel that the P21s cleans more than it polishes although it did a nice job of both.
2. Menzerna Polishing Cream has been on AG backorder for a LONG time. I ordered it from Menzerna direct. They just changed the bottle style and now give over double the quantity in the tube. I'm not sure if the formula was changed or not though. They said they just got a ton in stock so hopefully AG will get some in again.
3. I chose Sonus Aluminum Sealant over Wolfgang Metal Sealant becasue of the price point and the fact that Sonus is Polycharged.
4. I also just got some Semichrome fine metal polish that I will be using for the first time and comparing against the Menzerna Polishing Cream on my WRX or RX-7 in the near future.

Overall I was very impressed with all three products!
