Does it clean and polish aluminum to the shine of chrome? What is recommended to shine aluminum to a chrome like shine?

Don't believe it will polish to a "chrome like" finish. It did a decent job on my stainless steel sink but, again, it did need a lot of rubbing. You will definitely see a difference but NOT a chrome polish difference. Basically, I would give it a B - or C+.

I have used it on brass, stainless steel, and copper. Have not used it on aluminum.

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

Any of the polishes inclucing semichrome, which work on medal should do the job. Auto parts stores do have chrome polish. If the chrome is not on a high value surface, 0000 steelwool or bronzewool will do the trick also. Bronze wool is more expensive but will not leave residue which rusts.

It will work on Chrome, stainless and alloy however it may not remove baked on debris. You may need a polish for best results.

Not sure. We have stainless in our kitchen, so we chose the arctic stainless. I would think chrome would be shiny. I will be glad to send a picture if you tell me where to send.

I'm not sure how well it works on motor cycle chrome but it does a great job on car chrome which should be the same quality..

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

MAAS recommends you should use the Maas Stainless Steel & Chrome Spray Cleaner. I have not used it myself, so good luck.

I didn't get a chrome finish. It was more of a silver and when I tried to use gloss clear coat it went bad. It could have been the material I was painting. Try a test piece of material to see what reaction you get. Mike

No, I bought polished chrome and it is shinny. The other one is gray without shine.

It depends on what you are trying to clean I suppose. I would recommend aluminum polish if you want a true shine with aluminum. Aluminum polish has ultra fine grit in its polishes. The back of the bottle specifically says "Weiman stainless steel cleaner and polish is specially formulated to clean, shine and polish stainless steel. Removes fingerprints, smudges, residue and grease. Protective coating repels dust and dirt. Leaves a brilliant streak-free shine." so I would say no, don't waste the money. Go get an aluminum polish but ask an associate based on what you are trying to clean, and be sure you're actually right thinking it is aluminum... Wear gloves and a microfiber cloth you are OK parting with when using aluminum polish. Otherwise, you will have the black oxidation layers all over your hands. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is shiny chrome. But the sticking material did not work too well. I ended up using something else.

This product doesn't look like chrome. It's kind of a dull gun metal., if you want real mirror chrome look, have it done professionally. Look up plastic chroming there are places that do it and you'll get the results you want.

If the finish you have looks shiny like Chrome, it will work nicely to bring the shine back and remove very light scratches. I have seen nickel faucets that have a slightly matte (flat-not-too-shiny) finish, and Simichrome will tend to polish them a bit more shiny.

My container says removes baked on grease and carbon on all metals including Aluminum, chrome,stainless steel, cast iron porcelain enamel, copper and brass. I have used this product for years very successfully. Be careful in using it. Cover all surfaces around what you are working on.

I wouldn't use this product on aluminum at all... I did it and spots/blotches occurred!!!
