Pros: Brilliant shine, long-lasting, easy to apply & remove, cost effective

The main reason I bought this polish was for the Aluminum wheels on my Explorer. The polish works wonders on these, so I began experimenting with other metals around the house to see if I could revitalize the shine around there too. Come to find out, the...

I've been using Mother's Aluminum Polish for nearly 14 years now. In 1993 I bought a motorcycle, and not one of the popular sport-bikes that are covered in plastic. No, my bike is old, and so everything is out in the open -- wheels, spokes, frame, ...

Pros: does what it claims
Cons: strong smell

This review might look long and sound off topic but I have to write the lifelong story of why I bought this polish.

It all started when I went online and e-mailed Mother's about their Plastic Polish and asked about how well it works on...

Pros: Amazing results. No reason not to buy it.
Cons: Need a lot of the product for average job.

I have a 97 Ford F150 pickup and my wheels and bumpers started looking really bad. Among the deposits that were crusted onto my wheels, and bumpers, were sap ,brake dust, rust, tar, & extremely bad water spots!
After word of mouth from my...

Pros: Will make your wheels shine better than anything else that I have tried.
Cons: Does take a little time to apply but is well worth the effort.

I just bought my son a new 2006 Jeep Wrangler and when we were at the dealership I noticed that whoever had washed the wheels had used the wrong thing.(They had cleaned them with an acid based cleaner) They said they would polish them and make them like new, we decided to try it ourselves before they did. Because the wheels were Dick Cepek we decided to call them and see what they recommended. They said that the wheels were probably ruined be we could try to take them to a body shop and get them to buff them with red weanall first then with blue weanall next and if that didn't work then they would need to be replaced. We were riding through town and decided to get some mothers and try to see what it would do. As soon as we started we noticed that it was working and that this was going to bring them back to where they were suppose to be. Now they look better than any chrome wheels I have ever seen. Thank you so much. I can't wait to try mothers on other things around the house.

Pros: Faster than competition, hardly any mess, good finished look on wheel.
Cons: Hard to get off if you let it sit too long

I purchased some Mickey Thompson cast aluminum wheels for my truck about six months ago and neglected to polish them. I finally took a close look and realized I had some serious pitting and oxidation stains, so I started polishing with ‘Blue Magic – Metal polish cream’. I spent an hour for one wheel! It was messy as hell, my hands were covered with black gunk from the polish and I could hardly move my hands any more. Magic my A**! My neighbors were starting to laugh at me because I was out there so long. I finally got so aggravated that I gave up and looked for something better and picked up ‘Mothers – Mag & Aluminum Polish’. Wow, what a difference!! What took me more than an hour to clean before, now took less than 15. I even went back to the spots I could not get before and cleaned it up with ‘Mothers’. Because you use ‘Mothers’ so sparingly, you make a fraction of the mess and you can actually see it work with each wipe. I won’t by anything but ‘Mothers’ for my wheels again.
