Thx sir. I didn’t have the skills to do it myself, so I had Vegas Chris do it for me.

One of the coolest mods I put on this truck.

Gave the Suburban a quick wash after the Tahoe quick detail and kicked the wife out of the carport for the night.

Pulled the tow hooks and gave them a good polish.

Not even something i would think about... welp, thats why your trucks look so good and well quite honestly, mine looks like it does......
Very nice foss.

 

[swathdiver]

Flitz?

 

[PG01]

Flitz?

I remember that stuff.. neverdull work good on my chrome stuff on my bikes

 

[swathdiver]

I grew up using Brasso until the government forced them to change the formula and the product then left a lot to be desired. Neverdull... Don't recall that one, well maybe. I might have used that to polish the railings on our work boat.

Thx. I know, I’m a little on the detailed side. My dad still jokes that’s the way it’s always been and my wife, well...she laughs and rolls her eyes. Lol

Flitz?

I used Colinite’s 850 Metal Wax on these, but Flitz is a go to because it is so soft. They weren’t that bad actually. Now I want to see if I can get one of my kids to crawl under the truck and help me turn the 18mm just for the experience.

The Metal Wax can be too aggressive for the wrong application and leave some nasty hairline scratches, but it can shift some rust.

Why'd they do that?

 

[swathdiver]

Why'd they do that?

To comply with the new Volatile Organic Compounds Law in 2008. Some idiot in Washington DC decided my 20 year old can was a danger all of a sudden to me and my kids and everyone else who had one under their sink or in the garage. So to protect us from ourselves they forced Brasso to change the formula and give us a worthless product that previously had served us well since the 1920s.

They did something similar with Diazinon in 2004. It too is a shadow of its former self and pretty much useless now.

Tons of car waxes are like that now too. Some just don't even exist. In the old says you could use a wax to remove tar and glue deposits. New stuff can't without use of mild abrasives. Old stuff smelled like lantern fuel lol

I was wondering what happened to the old carnauba wax I used to use. All I had to do back then was wash the car and then wax it, not all these extra steps. I did have some turtle wax white polishing compound but used that to get the salt off the glass mostly.

Coincidentally, a coworker and I were discussing Brasso a few days ago. He was a radioman in the Navy and they banned them from using it to clean the ships, particularly the doors. It was wearing down the seals little by little, eventually making them leak.

Related story: When my ex-wife's aunt passed, the family was going through her belongings to disperse them among themselves and hauling the rest out to the trash pile. In a load to the trash pile, I ran across an old and rusty but unused can of Brasso and snatched it up. The family, that already thought I was a bit "out there", turned their noses up at me (they were jealous haters for many other reasons) as I contently carted my prize to my truck. The "newer" version is still good for polishing scratches out of acrylic and plastic.
