It effectively removes tarnish, oxidation, road grime, and light scratches to reveal a brilliant, mirror-like finish. The formula includes protective polymers that create a water-repellent barrier, helping to shield surfaces from future oxidation and corrosion. This versatile paste is ideal for automotive detailing, motorcycles, bicycles, and household items, including alloy wheels, chrome trim, exhaust pipes, stainless steel, brass, and copper. For optimal results, apply to a clean, dry surface using a soft cloth or polishing pad, work in sections, and buff away residue to achieve a high-shine finish. Ensure the surface is cool before application and perform a test on an inconspicuous area first. Do not use on painted, lacquered, anodised, or delicate coated surfaces.
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.

No shine appearing after polishing
Ensure the surface is not painted or coated; the product is specifically for bare, unpainted decorative metals.

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.
