PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In the UAE, metal trim on your car, including chrome, aluminum, stainless steel, and polished metal accents, can become dull, oxidized, or stained due to exposure to the elements. Even UV rays, rain, salt, brake dust, and road grime contribute to the gradual degradation of the metal’s shine. With the SONAX Metal Polish (75mL), you can prevent oxidation and corrosion, while restoring the brilliant shine that makes your vehicle stand out. It is compatible with all metal surfaces including chrome, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass.
