FLITZ Metal Polish Paste — 5.29 oz Jar, Non-Abrasive Polish for Chrome & Stainless

Flitz Metal Polish Paste is a U.S.-made, non‑abrasive cream formulated to remove light tarnish and oxidation from solid chrome, stainless steel, and aluminum when manually buffed.

This compact 5.29‑ounce jar contains a long‑lasting polishing paste crafted in Wisconsin for routine maintenance and gentle restoration of solid-metal parts. It works best on items that are truly solid metal—exhaust tips, trim, jewelry, coins, knives, and stainless fixtures—delivering a bright, protective finish after proper buffing. It is not intended for plated, painted, coated, plastic, or resin surfaces, nor for heavy corrosion, deep pitting, or structural rust.

How do I use Flitz Metal Polish Paste effectively?

Apply a small amount of paste to a clean, dry cloth and rub the area with moderate pressure. Allow a few minutes of manual buffing to lift oxidation, then wipe away residue and buff to shine. For best results, work in small sections and refresh the cloth as it darkens.

• Use a cotton or microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive pads.
• Rub 2–5 minutes per small area to remove light tarnish.
• Wipe residue and re‑buff to a protective sheen.
• Test on an inconspicuous spot first to confirm compatibility.

Which surfaces are safe and which should I avoid?

Flitz is formulated for solid metals only—solid chrome, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, silver, and nickel. Do not use it on chrome‑plated, painted, or coated pieces, nor on plastic, resin, or polycarbonate parts where the finish is not solid metal.

• Safe: solid exhaust tips, unplated trim, knives, coins, jewelry.
• Avoid: chrome‑plated plastic trim, painted components, coated finishes.
• Unsuitable for headlights, lenses, or nonmetal materials.
• If unsure, verify the item is solid metal before applying.

What kind of damage will this polish repair?

This paste removes light surface oxidation, water spots, and minor tarnish. It is not a solution for deep scratches, heavy corrosion, pitting, or metal loss; those require mechanical repair or professional restoration.

• Removes light oxidation and surface discoloration.
• Does not remove deep scratches or structural rust.
• Ideal for ongoing maintenance and restoring small blemishes.
• Black residue on cloth is normal—it's the oxidation being lifted.

How long does the protective shine last and how often should I reapply?

When properly buffed, the polish leaves a durable, bright finish that helps resist immediate re‑oxidation. The longevity depends on exposure to moisture and road or environmental contaminants; regular maintenance keeps metal looking its best.

• Reapply as part of routine care—frequency varies with use and environment.
• For vehicles or outdoor gear, check and re‑polish seasonally or after heavy exposure.
• Indoor items typically require less frequent maintenance.
• Always fully remove residue and buff for maximum protection.

Who this product is for: Flitz Metal Polish Paste is aimed at owners who need a reliable, manual polish for genuine solid-metal parts—car and motorcycle enthusiasts, restorers of antique hardware, watch and jewelry keepers, and hobbyists who maintain metal tools and collectibles. If you want a non‑abrasive, USA‑made paste to remove light oxidation and restore shine on solid chrome, stainless, or aluminum, and you’re prepared to buff by hand, this product fits those needs. Do not buy it for plated, painted, plastic, or heavily corroded items; for those surfaces, seek a specialist cleaner or professional repair.
