The original Flitz was designed for cleaning fiberglass and gelcoat, and it was amazing. We found out that the same original Flitz would clean all the billet parts on our sand rails after they would get blasted from the dunes. The same thing with the powder coated surfaces on our sand rails... Flitz shined it right up. It is much more effective than Mothers or Never Dull. I wasn't aware of the pre-clean spray, but will have to give it a try. I bought a quart can of Flitz about 15 years ago and I am still working on the same can. It takes very little to get the job done, and the blacker the rag gets, the better it works. Then just you a clean rag for a final buff.

Been using flitz since it was in the tube on boat detailing since i did detailing at the Newport boat show and it sold a ton of boats that was listed for yrs prior with no sale and I did my work and sold everyone I touched it's the best product hands down I've turned thousands of people to try it

[@Anonymous-zv9hk]

I have most of your chemicals, but after buying them, I had put them aside, and over time had forgotten how useful they are when you follow the instructions. Thanks for making this video and reminding us how well these products work in cleaning so many things around your vehicles, your shop and your home.

Last Sept I purchased a car from FL and there is a milky white residue on all of my aluminum alloy wheels. I stumbled across this video and opted to check it out. When Flitz rep mentioned mag chloride on FL roads I thought OMG! That’s what’s likely caked on my wheels. Will buy product ASAP. THX UPDATE: Tried it. Was disappointed to say the least. 🙄 It generated a hint of improvement on wheels but in no way did it remove the grime as I had hoped. For what it’s worth, I sprayed it on a towel n it added a bit more brightness to whitewalls. So, it’s not a total bust. Will try fine grit sandpaper to see if that helps.

I've always used Wenol metal polish works great on all metals and protects from rust and corrosion up to a year.

[@jeffring1222]

[@garybloss6506]

NEVER DULL is the old hot rod best to use on alum wheels. I always use it on my 1977 Crager alum wheels and now of course for many years. It is a preinserted oxidation polish into a large wool wade in a can and you pull off what you need to do each wheel with as you go along. Always keep lid on the can after taking a piece off for a wheel so it does not start to dry out. BEST PRODUCT ! STILL USING SAME CAN SINCE BOUGHT IN 1977.

[@newsaggin2753]

yes never dull is navy aprove this clown is a last night sales ptch ! ive polished more motoe dirt bike car car parts than this hack never dull some mother and elbow grease

[@marktatum2592]

Forty five year old wheel cleaner/polish. Both Presidents Gerald Ford (Oldsmobile Toronado) and Jimmy Carter (AMC Matador X) could have used the same product in 1977 while they were polishing their cars at the White House.🤣

You can teach an old dog new tricks only if the old dog wants to learn, you keep right on using the same old wad, and us new trick old dogs will use Flitz.

[@pb68slab18]

Yep, gone thru cans of that stuff. But again, depending on the alloy. Cast wheels use a different alloy than forged wheels. Many aluminum alloys don't forge well. 7075 is the top alloy for forging and has a high zinc content and will polish up and resist tarnishing or corrosion longer. Problem is it doesn't weld or repair easily,

[@jerryfigueroa9317]

Wow I need a Phone number.

[@Secret_Sun33]

[@cherryblossomscarletokami9841]

now im thankful i found this, found some nice 16x8 ACT LS-S (before it became Ronal, which was then bought by Speedline Course) wheels for my accord, $150, some bad gold house paint on it, and the aluminum is super beat, i cant wait to try Flitz next paycheck to see if i can bring new life into them (because honestly ive been trying to get them to look good for a while now)

I have used Flitz for years on a brass woodstove door. Polishes it up very nice. The heat from the stove dulls it again over time, so it has to be redone periodically. I believe I bought my first tube from the woodstove dealer in town.

Use a regular buffer or mini air buffer, use flitz with 0000 steel wool to cut pits outs.

What does the ceramic coating look like after a year? Would you just reapply, or would you have to polish and start over before reapplying.

[@autoforge]

On bare alloy you would probably need to polish it again but the amount of effort will be much less than without the coating applied.

[@BrianBingham6101]

Thanks

[@regenmeister9646]

I wonder how the Ceramic and Metal Polish would stand up on alloy Sprint Car wheels - looks like a good product.

[@WhoopChicken6.7]

U can’t ceramic coat alluminum. Alluminum has to sweat and if the entire wheel is not sealed it will start from an edge and corrode off of it

Do u have a video of doing a rim that has been pitted as the ones up north are?

Not yet, but we will next month. - Nick

[@randalljames1]

the real trick is to see a finished wheel in the sunlight... we did wheels at the shop and an uneven polish is the biggest issue.. lots of products will polish but a bright even appearance?

[@ccrider77]

The precleaner is good stuff, but very expensive, at around $20 for a small spray bottle. It's mainly Urea Monohydrochloride, which is in very simple terms, urine mixed with hydrochloric acid. But it cuts through carbonates like a hot knife through butter...

[@dougharlow6037]

Can you use this on same type aluminum wheels WITHOUT removing the tires? Thanks

It’s just not flexible to work on it but if you the right tolls it will looks 95% great

[@drummmmerfish]

i have the same aluminum rims but for a truck and in worse condition. is the pre-cleaner safe on the original clear coat of the rim? i'm hoping to avoid going beyond the original clear coat when cleaning.

[@crazytestpilot9434]

Kind of a dirty trick using copper for that test. Some of us remember Tarn-x which makes copper shine like new with just a quick dip. Doesn't do anything for aluminum though.

[@johnmarengo3919]

Do you need to remove brake dust prior to using the Flitz Metal PreClean?

[@tomconner5067]

Good question, it wouldn't be a bad idea, unless you want electrolytic activity on your wheel, galvanic corrosion, or electrolysis, all you need is dissimilar metals and an electrolyte (salt, potassium, magnesium sulfate, nitric, formic carbonic acetic boric citric salicylic hydrofluoric muriatic phosphoric lactic acids, all available in household stuff except for hydrofluoric, unless your household is industry based, sodium hydroxide Alum Baking powder Washing Soda(sodiun carbonate) baking soda (sodium bi-carbonate) borax (sodium tetraborate) have fun

I drive a fuel truck,5600 gal aluminum tank. Very dull,but no corrosion. How much polish would that take?

[@autoforge]

The Pre Clean comes 3 gallons per case . I would say 1 case. Again it depends how bad it is. The Flitz comes 6 -2lb Cans per case . I think you can get by with one case , but having two would not hurt. Flitz also comes in Gallons. Case lot 4.

They sell round containers one big one small the small one has enough in it for your tank but buy the big one apply it till it dries then buff it off until you get the shine your looking for if you want even more shine and to look like a mirror do another coat and polish off and it'll look great you'll see your face in reflection

When I polish with compound and my cloth turns black, is that dirt? Should I keep polishing until I don't get any or little black on my cloth?

[@autoforge]

When polishing alloy you will always get black residue on your polishing cloth from dirt and oxidation in the metal. Continue polishing until you reach the desired level of shine you are looking for.

[@frankc1430]

What about if your aluminum rim has a clear coat on it and it's oxidizing under the clear coat. What do you do?

[@Onizukachan915]

Strip the clear coat off with stripper.

[@autoforge]

Flitz is formulated to remove oxidation and staining on alloy.

[@lewiswilliamsjr1190]

Can you polish for aluminum wheels from the factory?

[@autoforge]

Yes as long as they are not clear coated from the factory. Easy way to check if they are clear coated or not is to rub a small spot with polish and then check your polishing cloth. If it turns black they are not cleared and you can use a metal polish on them. If your cloth doesn't turn black then they have a clear protective coating on them. In this situation a normal car wax is what you want to use.
