Product Information

Full details

The K2 Aluchrom Metal Polish Paste is designed for automotive enthusiasts and homeowners looking to restore a mirror-like shine to unpainted metal surfaces. This professional-grade 120g paste effectively removes oxidation, tarnish, and grime while leaving behind a protective polymer layer to prevent future corrosion. While highly effective on chrome, aluminium, and stainless steel, it is important to note that it should never be used on painted, anodised, or coated surfaces to avoid permanent damage.

Troubleshooting

Paste is difficult to remove after drying

Apply a tiny amount of fresh paste to the dried residue to re-activate it, then wipe immediately with a clean, soft cloth.

No shine appearing after polishing

Ensure the surface is not painted or coated; the product is specifically for bare, unpainted decorative metals.

Streaks left on the surface

You likely used too much product. Use a smaller amount and ensure you are using a clean microfiber cloth for the final buffing stage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protective polymer coating reduces maintenance frequency
  • Highly versatile for automotive, motorcycle, and household metal items
  • Easy to apply and buff off with simple microfiber cloths

Cons

  • Not safe for use on painted, lacquered, or anodised surfaces

  • Should only be used on cool surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the metal surface is completely clean and dry to prevent trapping dirt that could cause scratching. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area to verify compatibility. Application is straightforward: use a soft cloth or a specialized foam polishing pad to spread the paste thinly over the desired area. After working the paste into the surface, use a fresh section of a microfiber cloth to buff the residue until clear. To maintain the protective barrier, avoid using harsh alkaline cleaners on the polished surface immediately after application. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paste from drying out.
