Default Product to Keep Stainless Clean and Polished

Can anyone recommend a product (applied by hand) to keep the stainless trim on my classic car clean and polished. The trim has all been professionally polished but I want something I can apply by hand prior to shows and when I detail the car. I want something that is not abrasive at all...

The choices I've found are:

- Wenol
- Flitz
- Semichrome
- 200 mph Metal Polish
- Griots Garage Metal Polish
- P21S Multi-surface
- Mother Metal Polish
- Luster Lace
- Autosol

Too Many Products!!!

Help!!!!!!!


Thank You Very much.....

all of the above will work ...... but good old carnuba wax will keep it shining for weeks to come ... or better yet zoop it and you will not have to touch it for a year or 2

now for the down side to all this
- Wenol ok but as stated below
- Flitz Caswell sell's great stuff!!!!!
- Semichrome junk
- 200 mph Metal Polish caswell don't sell ( never heard of it )
- Griots Garage Metal Polish caswell don't sell
- P21S Multi-surface caswell don't sell
- Mother Metal Polish JUNK
- Luster Lace caswell don't sell ( never heard of it )
- Autosol caswell don't sell ( good stuff i have used it)

95% of most polished out there contain water at there main part .. and that there is not good ..........

luster lace is strips of cloth soaked in a polish/cleaner. I use it on the spokes on my motorcycle because you can wrap it around it once and pull the ends back and forth to scrub the spoke. It's kind of messy, I wouldn't use it on auto trim near paint. I have always used Turtle wax chrome polish on my 68 GTO's SS trim, works great and is easy to use.

Caswell Sells a full line of polish to keep all your project shining..

But Mothers ok but if you do a rag test with all the polishes out there and put some on the rag and wring the rage out you will get water droplets from the product you sell.. High Grade Polish will not have any water in it..

i am locking this post .. Any other need to know about polish please go to
