PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Chrome and aluminium parts on vehicles develop dull patches, corrosion marks and rust gradually due to exposure to moisture, road salts, dust, and environmental pollutants. Regular washing alone may not remove oxidation or tarnish from the exhaust tips, trim pieces and other motorcycle components built with these metals. What they require is a specialized polishing compound; the SONAX Chrome & AluPaste (75ml) to restore the surface because of the strong bond that exists.
This AluPaste (75ml) is designed to clean, polish, and maintain unpainted metal surfaces, while removing corrosion, dirt, and tarnish from metals such as chrome. Because of its controlled abrasive formula, the paste can be used on vehicle trim, motorcycles, bicycles, and some household metal surfaces that require polishing.
What This Product Does
When the SONAX Chrome & AluPaste (75ml) is designed to be applied and rubbed into the surface with a cloth, the fine abrasive particles work to loosen and remove contaminants. Typical applications include chrome exhaust tips, aluminium motorcycle parts, decorative metal trim on vehicles, brass or copper fittings, and bicycle components. The product can also be used on certain household metal objects where similar corrosion or tarnish occurs.Benefits vs Features
