Is this the best metal polish to turn aluminum to a chrome like finish?

even tho it is a great polisher, it stillrequires a lot of elbow grease and in some cases, tiresome rubbing. as far as aluminum is concerned, if the base is not already shiny, it cannot produce a shine that does not exist initially.

If the aluminum is polished aluminum it will restore the metal to its original bright finish. Brushed aluminum cannot be given a bright finish with this (or any other product) It does a good job on corroded aluminum provided the corrosion has not caused pitting or other physical damage to the metal.

Never tried it on aluminum. Works great on brass and stainless steel. Surfaces with an already polished finish should be the best option.

The finish as I remember using it, is an "acrylic" finish--mildly shiny for the basic colors.... metallic look 'metalic'. If you want a very glossy finish, use additional materials. One I like very much is Judikins "Diamond Glaze". Hope this helps..

I don't know about using Finish chrome on kitchen utensils, but I know that was going to use it on a wheel cap, but it did not look like chrome.

Depends on the kind of instruments and their uses. I wouldn't use it as a general metal polish such as on the electron gun of an electron microscope.

I never tried it on stainless. I polish silver, brass, gold and other metals. Im not sure its designed for stainless, however it wouldnt hurt, plus it does a great job on any metal ive tried.

BlueMagic has earned 5 stars from me as not only have I had excellent results with pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, renewed automobile headlights, brought new shine to old mica counter tops, but also renewed the shine to an old bath tub and shower glass. Wear gloves and a mask if you react to harsh chemicals. It's my favorite get it done all purpose polish.

Pat, It's metal polish. It will definately make you stainless steel Colt Python look very "nice". I don't think I would use it on a "blue" finish gun; but stainless steel....nice.

As the can says it is a metal polish, so I beleive it would work fine on any metal, you just rub some of the product on it until it turns dark and wipe it off, should look great, I have also left a thin coat of the product overnight on items that were realy bad and the next day they came back to life

It's a matte finish, not a high polished chrome. Certainly more like brushed aluminum

I cannot say for certain, but it looks like chrome to me. It is not zinc and is smoother and shinier than stainless steel. It works for me. Scarlett Z

Answer here...I have found it to be trial and error. Almost all Metallic and one coat cream polishes work well. Try on a piece of paper first. This is the best way to be sure.

There is a minor abrasive feel to this polish and I would hesitate using it on handles that might have a coating on them as opposed to handles that are made of solid metal. You might polish off the coating.

I cannot give you an answer because I used it with a primer and only used this paint on some hardware for drawers from ikea. If you can prime the aluminum, I would assume it will be fine. Btw...the hardware I painted had a bit of a matte finish to it already too. The gold color itself is really nice. Sorry...

I have not used this product on polished aluminum, however, I would not hesitate trying it. Had no negative effects on items such as antique nickle and copper plate also various steels and unpolished aluminum. Is the aluminum polished, or coated. If coated, its possible that it could remove the coating (as most other polishes and cleaners will do).

I would say Wenol is safe on almost any metal surface, but like all polishes, it will change the look of whatever you use it on, which may be what your goal is to start with. For instance brushed aluminum may not look quite so brushed and more glossy.
