Need to clean up some diamond plate and rims on the Ole Chevy. Any recommendations? I have used Never Dull in the past. It works, but takes forever on diamond plate. Had some guys say Mothers is good. Don't want to use any of the acid stuff that makes it white. Any suggestions?

Get you a tube of this and you won't buy anything else. I've used Mothers, Never Dull, Turtle Wax polish, Blue Majic, and nothing comes close to comparing to this stuff. We carry it where I work is how I got turned on to it. Makes wheels look like a mirror.
If you get some and try it, let me know what you think of it. Everyone I've turned on to it has loved it.

Cool. I'll check it out. Do you just apply by hand?

I just apply it with my finger tip and then buff with a clean cloth. It don't take multiple passes and extra effort like the Mothers will.

I used that Semichrome paste to polish out a .357 model 686+ and it looked like chrome. I also used on one of those little nickel plated .22 pistols and once again, it looked like chrome plating. Great stuff.

By the way,to speed up the process, I use a dremel tool with felt buffing wheel. The little .22 took maybe 30 minutes or so. Careful on nickel plating, I think you could actually buff through the plating with power tool.

Nice! Now I just have to find the time to do 4 rims and all the diamond plate. Maybe between deer and turkey season and before I start fishing.
