Title: Shoe Polish?
Post by: Noviceman on December 05, 2017, 01:57:49 PM
Did I read on this forum somewhere that people use shoe polish on side plates???    I have been using just car wax which does an ok job and also heard that some use chrome cleaner/polish??   Just wondering how these work.

Getting blown away in NE Wisconsin today....Up to 50 mph gusts possible today....

Try some automotive polishing compound (the white stuff) with a buffing wheel. When you get it shiny enough to your liking then wax it.       Rudy

In the Eastern European market.  Polish.  Get it?  I know it's pretty bad when you have to explain your jokes.   :D ;D Dominick

John, I bought mine at True Value, but it's widely available... check here: http://www.flitz.com/dealer-locator.html

And, of course, Amazon:

"Pretty" bad??  ::)

Dominick, your desperation is showing. Maybe you should go buy yourself a nice Christmas Speedo? Y'know, green and red, with cute little Santas and Rudolphs and elves.  :D
