McKee's Fast Metal Polish

[Dmb5450]

My new to me F-type is only 2 years old, but the exhaust tips were never polished. Being an Autogeek this instantly popped out at me when I checked out the car. In my mind it really brought down the look of the car. After having the car for a bit, the ugly tips were really driving me crazy! I decided to order a bottle of McKee's Fast Metal Polish to try out. The word fast is very accurate, I spent about 5 minutes per tip 10 minutes total. Below are some before and after pictures.

Any suggestions on what can be put on the tips to add some protection? I have Uber coating and all three of theMcKee's coatings, just checking if any those would be appropriate.

Great review Dmb5450!

Man your F-type looks stunning. You made it even better by polishing the exhaust tips. The tips look absolutely perfect and brand new!

I haven't used the McKee's 37 Fast Metal Polish yet but when I used the Mother's metal polish, it seems like it left some sort of protection as it made the water beads for a long time. I won't be surprised if the McKee's 37 Fast Metal Polish left some protection as well. But if you want a specific Metal sealant, Wolfgang has one:

This is hard to type with my drool all over the keyboard.

I love the way those cars sound.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Marc, thank you for the kind words and the suggestion. I thought of trying that exact product, but didn't know if the heat would mess with the sealant. Like usual, I'm probably over thinking. My logic led me to think a wheel coating would be best suited due to heat resistance, just thinking out loud.

Thanks Joe! I'm not going to lie, I walk out to the garage and just stare. When I went to see the car in person for the first time they had it in their garage for me to look at due to being 20 degrees. The salesperson said you may want to cover your ears, it's really loud in the inclosed garage. When he started it up I could not stop smiling. That has to be the best sales trick to sell these cars.

Very nice!

They look great. Nick would have to chime in but I thought the metal polish left some protection behind.

The other option is to prep the tips and use the wheel coating on them.
