    Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

    I was watching YouTube videos from a channel called Sweet Project Cars. This guy uses Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish all the time as a compound agent for paint before polishing and waxing. He seems to get good results and he is using a Dewalt rotary polisher. Anyone ever heard of using this stuff on paint?

    Re: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

    Since my tub of Mag & Aluminum Polish‘s label says:
    “Not recommended for gold plating, chrome,
    anodized, painted or coated metals”
    ...I don’t use
    it as ascribed by the YouTuber: ‘Sweet Project Cars’.


    •On the other hand:
    -If you do anticipate using it on vehicles’ painted
    panels, it would behoove you to do a few well
    chosen out-of-the-way “Test Spots”.

    Re: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

    With the millions of YT videos out there, trying to distinguish what is truth and what is paid BS is almost impossible.

    What I ask myself is this: There are hundreds of extremely capable products that are specifically designed for clear coated paint systems.

    I guess my question is this........ Why the experiment with a product designed and marketed by a proven company to use on wheels??

    I was not intending on using it for that. I just thought it might be an industry secret or something.

    If it were, there would be about a thousand posts on here about it.

    I'm not saying the guy on YT is a liar, but............

    Re: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

    I've used the stuff on exhaust pipe tips with success, but I couldn't imagine using it on paint. Even if we ignore the terrible things the abrasives would probably do to your paint, I'd think it would be a huge mess and the polishing oils would really difficult to remove. Not sure that tiny tub of polish would get you very far either. You'd go through a lot of product.
