OK guys, When I polish something, weather it be my gas cap, or my center caps, I dont have a clue what to put on to keep it polished.. I hear Petrolium, but when I rub that stuff on, and then rub it off with something it scratches and gets rid of half my polish job.. What should I put on as a sealant or something?
Thanks guys Andrew |

Try regular old carnuba car wax. That's what I use on my polished Fuchs.

The carnuba will work! I remember some other type of polish... Wernol or something?
Or... try Jergen's Lotion. Brad says he uses it to polish his knob all the time. Just kidding. |

Stuff can also be clear coated after polishing.

Wenol is the stuff Karl is refering to. Works good. SemiChrome also works good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif)
