Review: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish - Exhaust Tip Polishing - RUPES Nano
Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish
What is it?
Aluminum polish.
What does it do?
Removes oxidation and staining to restore a bright shine to dull aluminum surfaces.
When do I use it?
Anytime you discover dull, oxidized aluminum surfaces and you want to restore a brilliant shine.
Why should I use it?
To restore a clean, bright mirror appearance to aluminum surfaces.
Exhaust Tip Polishing and Restoration
Over the weekend my brother-in-law PJ had a chance to test out Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish as a polish to restore exhaust tips.
BEFORE
The black exhaust build-up on the inside of these exhaust tips was hardened and cemented to the metal finish.
We tried a couple of metal polishes and nothing was working fast enough or effective enough.
PJ asked me if I had anything else?
I thought? Yeah - I have some Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish that we use for our car detailing classes.
So I handed him the plastic tub of Mothers polish and he gave it a try.
Instead of working by hand, PJ used the RUPES Nano in Long Neck version with a RUPES 1.5" Coarse Wool Pad.
And BOOM!
The Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish easily removed the hardened black exhaust build-up and restored a beautiful, bright and shiny appearance.
So much better!
Review
I've been using this product for decades. It's a consistent and time-proven performer when it comes to polishing and restoring dull, oxidized aluminum. When PJ asked me if I had something different he could try I had just put the Mothers mag polish away. It was in the garage and I had walked it outside the garage to my product inventory area for are car detailing classes. So it was FRESH in my mind. I kind of thought, well if these other products were not working, I doubt the Mothers product would work and it was probably just a case of too tough of a job.
But I figured, what the heck, so I retrieved it, handed it to PJ and in a few minutes he told me,
Yeah... that's working!
Once again, a tried and true product proves itself again. This product should be a staple in every car guy's garage and also the inventory of every pro detailer. It flat out works.

Just want to add...
When working on exhaust tips - your pads are going to get abused big time...
I'm going to wash this pad in the washing machine, I'll pre-treat it first. Then I'll share how it looks after coming out of the clothes dryer.
If it looks like toast, as in looks ruined - I'll save it for more like like you see in this review.

Mike:
Were those tips chrome?
I thought the Mother's Mag/aluminum polish differed from the chrome polish?
I've never used any Mother's, just Collinite #850.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I'd guess the tips are stainless, based on the black residue. Chrome wouldn't generate black residue.
And yes, there is a substantial difference between Mag & Aluminum Polish, and Chrome Polish. Soft alloy vs a hard plating means you need a different polishing media.

Another long time user of the product here. Great stuff.
I don't have a fancy little polisher like what is shown above, so I end up going after the tips with the polish, a rag, and good ole fashion elbow grease. If the tips ware really bad I'll put the polish on some 0000 steel wool or a terry cloth toweland then finish up with a soft rag and the polish.

Re: Review: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish - Exhaust Tip Polishing - RUPES Nano
amazingly easy product to use...i personally have been using it since roughly 1992, when i started driving this was the go to product for dolling up my exhaust pipes...(several 5.0 mustangs and anything with aluminized pipes that were exposed)...we used to do a quick 600+ grit wet sand and polish with it...instant chrome pipes.
