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.

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