I have a nickel plated S&W that could use some sprucing up. I hear a lot of good things about Flitz polish but when I went to Lowes, no one ever heard of it. They did have a product for polishing truck boxes called Diamond Brite. Can anybody tell me who would carry Flitz and is Diamond Brite comparable or a whole different product? Also, does Flitz some as a liquid, paste, on a cloth or..?

Thanks,

Bill

I found it at Ace hardware and many auto parts stores. It is a thick liquid, not a paste. White plastic bottle, large blue lettering, the size of a wide toothpaste container.

If you can't find Flitz specifically, any auto supply store will have essentially the same thing in various chrome and/or mag wheel polishes. Mother's Mag Polish is a good one, and there are numerous others. I think you could generically call them "micro-abrasive" polishes.

Gentleman,

If all else fails, there always are Brownells and Midway.

+1 for Mother's

I bought a 2.2 lb. can of it. That should last me a couple of decades. Free shipping here: Amazon.com: Flitz

Simichrome also works well. Just remember, all these polishing products are abrasive and will damage/remove nickel if used too aggressively. Use a very light touch and polish carefully. For a really gorgeous final polish us a Selvyt polishing cloth (not impregnated with a polishing agent).

You fellows are fantastic.

Thanks for all of the additional information.

Mother's mag polish is great stuff especialy on stainless. But it warns on the label not to use on plated items.I'd try flitz or brasso.

Thanks for that warning.

I am familiar with Brasso. Is it as effective as Flitz?

Thanks,

Bill
