Learn how to restore oxidized metal surfaces and bring back a clean, mirror-like shine using Chemical Guys Light Metal Polish and Heavy Metal Polish. In this tutorial, we polish dull chrome, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metal surfaces by hand with a microfiber applicator, then show the difference between light oxidation and heavier tarnish. You’ll see how Light Metal Polish handles a wheel surface, how Heavy Metal Polish pulls years of tarnish from a metal toolbox, and what a proper 50/50 metal polish result should look like. If your metal trim, wheels, toolbox, exhaust tips, or chrome accents are looking dull, this is the simple detailing process to make them look refreshed and restored. Comment below and tell us what metal surface we should restore next.
