I highly recommend it. Make sure you do not use a glove and rub the substance on the lip hard up and down with ur whole hand then wipe it down with a microfiber towel. Its a pain in the ass to do all 4 wheels but the results is worth it! You can get it at Kragens, Pep boys, Auto Zone  |

Get ahold of some "ZEP" FIVE STAR Polish. It is a paste and has jewelers rouge in it. It's an industrial strength Brass and metal polish that cleans, polishes & protects. Can be used on Brass, Chrome, Stainless Steel, Copper, Silver, Gold, Aluminum, Magnesium, Aluminum Alloys, Nickel, Zinc, Tin, Bronze, Pewter & Factory Gun Bluing. Comes in a 6.3oz tube. This is what jeweiery stores use to polish fine gold & siver pieces. 15.00 a tube and you will be amazed at the results.

Mother's polishing compound is great to use for all lips. Make sure you use with a micro-fiber towl (very important, so you dont scratch your lips)
Heres what it looks like...  |

ither you work for the company or you got a tube next to ur computer.... no way you can remeber a product shinning THAT many things....
__________________ Both, but it still does everything I said. I happen to sell the product to alot of top tier trucking companies that have beautiful trucks with mirrored out tanks and wheels and diamond plate headache racks who swear by this product. So I'm not trying to drum up sales for it, no matter what it sounds like. Even if I didnt work for the company I would still use the product on my wheels. Technically I cant sell to individuals. Our products say right on them "For Industrial and Institutional Use Only, Not For Household Use Or Resale". But I have alot of Accounts that buy it from me and they happen to retail it and we sort of turn a blind eye to it.. So YES, Montreal Bimmer I do have a tube here by my puter, AND I work for ZEP, but the product does what I am saying, we've been in business for 72 years, so we must be doing something right. Just saying if you can get a tube from a vendor try it, you just might like it  |
