Wish one that clean came with all the ones I bought 12 years ago. I've upgraded my red/black Tydol once and it's still not as nice as yours.

Nice sign! Still think with about 1 hour of labour, it will clean up even better...

ok I will try it. The stains seem deeper than normal. I tried the stuff that always worked before... blue magic metal polish, med rubbing compound and s100 wheel polish that has always worked in the past. I tried them all with a buffer.
I am not sure how Bar Keeper could cut any better, but I will get some. Thanks ! ! ! ! !

The stains seem deep, if that makes sense. I never had aproblem with rust before. The black marks are just as tough. I will try thinner tomorrow.

I see what you're talking about. It's almost as if the gloss is breaking down? Try toothpaste or efferdent.
