I’ve used Flitz polish for years and on more projects than I can recall. I’ve used it on knives, guns, CDs, headlamp housings, safety glasses, drink thermoses, stainless steel, blued steel, chrome, carbonitrided steel, aluminium, brass, copper, carbon fiber (the resin), plastics… you get the idea. On stainless steel, it makes the surface even more rust resistant and reduces general staining, great for pocket knives. On plastics it can improve light transmission and help the surface shed water and stains. On blued steel, when used with a light touch, it removes rust, produces a deep luster, and helps protect against rust. It brightens and deepens the luster on anodized aluminium, and on raw aluminium it polishes and protects the metal itself. It can be used on CDs (I’ve saved many!) and similar to remove many scratches, same as headlamp lenses and safety glasses. I have used it on glass to remove hard stains, but never use it on coated glass (eyeglasses, sunglasses, binoculars, rifle scopes, camera lenses, &c.). When applying and rubbing the polish in, the pressure you apply affects the results. This is, despite their claims, an abrasive polish with an equivalent grit of something like 5,000. On brushed steel, I use a light touch in straight lines to bring up the luster and protect it without over-polishing it and losing the attractive surface grain. On headlamps, I press fairly firmly and use a swirl motion. I’d recommend using single use applicator and rubbing cloths, that paper cloth stuff does well (see photo), but other textiles works fine. On complex surfaces, a toothbrush or similar may also be used to good effect. On many plastics, I find that adding water helps the Flitz keep ‘biting;’ on metals I often use an oil (e.g. Slip 2000, I’d avoid oils with Teflon). Once finished with the rubbing, I have a dedicated ‘dirty’ rag (microfiber, see photo) to pull the excess Flitz off the surface and to refine the finish. Finally, another cleaner rag (microfiber) to get rid of the last of it and complete the polish. On anything that carries food or beverage, I go ahead and wash with warm dish soap thoroughly (no offensive taste or odor is evident). Speaking of, the stuff has a pungent odor and is hard to wash off the hands (dish soap is recommended). At all hazards, avoid getting it into your eyes; if used on a power tool, use safety glasses! Flitz claims that the polish will protect metals for 6 months, obviously mileage varies depending on use. For a knife that is subjected to abrasive use, the 6 month promise is optimistic. On the other hand, a gun going into a humidity controlled safe and seldom handled will probably be fine for years. This is a great product to have in any home, it is versatile and indispensable! It breathes new life into worn or tarnished surfaces and helps protect them no matter their condition!

This stuff REALLY works. I have very expensive lamps from Havertys that tarnished. I was so disappointed because the quality of these lamps were not what I was used to with the Havertys product. I wanted to return the lamps and get new ones, but they had none that would be compatible with my decor. I reluctantly tried this product and it is amazing. See that before and after pictures.

Flitz is the best metal polish hands down

Works good and shipppig was fast

Been using for years, one of the best metal polishes on the market

Been using Flitz for years (mostly on firearms) its ability to basically erase rust and some tarnish is amazing. Be aware though the more you polish the brighter the surface becomes. If you're using this on a matte stainless steel gun just know that too much polishing will turn it to a more shiny version of itself. Flitz is awesome for polishing and removing for lots of things!!!

This is the very best metal polish.....EVER! I have used it on my 2020 Toyota RAV on the plastic headlights and they now look new; used it on gold and silver jewelry and it took out all the scratches; just used it on an aluminum bracelet (see photo) and it took out all the visible scratches on it. It is fabulous!

Good

For different polishing purposes I have used in the last 30 years a paste called "Pool Blau" that my mother bought to do kitchen cleaning. Since the past is now gone, I had to get a replacement. Flitz is coming to the quality of Pool blau very near. Since its also working for any kind of glass, it also works for Fiberglass and therefore also for plastic/resin model kits. There are also polishing componts from Tamiya, but there are hard to get here and way more expensive.

Superior US product that does exactly what it says on the tube. Chrome, be it vehicle, taps etc all come up clean, and STAY clean. Not sure what is in the European equivalents, must be unicorn pee or something. Highly recommend

L'ho provato su metallo cromato per togliere piccoli graffi ed ha funzionato moto bene

Ordered this to clean up some jewellery (watches mainly). Took a little bit of time to get them all polished up, but the Flitz worked as advertised. As other posters have said, start slow as this is removing oxidation as well as bits of metal to get the shine you are looking for. Since Flitz is a bit coarse in my opinion I used a finer polish afterwards to really get a good shine on the items I polished (but I am a bit OCD like that). Definitely will be using it around the house as I find more things to shine up!
