How to apply (step-by-step)
- Prepare the surface: Clean the area with water and mild soap to remove loose dirt, brake dust and road grime. Dry completely.
- Apply polish: Squeeze a small amount of Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish onto a clean, soft cloth or applicator pad.
- Polish: Rub the product into the metal using moderate pressure and small circular motions. Focus on areas with oxidation or dull spots.
- Buff off: When the polish begins to dry or show a haze, buff with a second clean cloth to reveal the shine.
- Repeat if needed: For heavier corrosion or more tarnished surfaces, repeat the process until you achieve the desired finish.
- Protect & maintain: Regular light applications will maintain shine and slow re-oxidation.
Tips & best practices
- Test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with the finish.
- Avoid using on painted surfaces unless the paint is masked—this product is formulated for bare metal.
- For wheels, remove heavy brake dust first (pressure wash or dedicated wheel cleaner) before polishing.
- Use microfiber or soft cotton cloths to prevent scratching.
- Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin and work in a well-ventilated area.
