rayin Report post Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Monday my order for California Custom Purple aluminum cleaner/polish arrived. The video had convinced me it was worth $29 to give it a try on my dull, corroded rims. I did a few spots today to judge ease of use and it it lived up to the claims. I am well-pleased with the result, it did as shown in the video, The ease of use is amazing to me, Sure wish I could get back all the money I've spent on metal polishes in the past. This stuff works great, without much effort whatsoever. The top portion of the outer band(with holes) took me 10 minutes: Edited June 27, 2020 by RayIN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dons2346 Report post Posted June 27, 2020 My lazy friend Floyd turned me on to this stuff. If it was easy for him, it is really easy. Good stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted June 27, 2020 haha I too have to chuckle over this one as well. I have sworn by Mother's Mag and aluminum polish for decades, and it is good and it has multiple uses. On one of the Safari forums we had some discussions about polishes and Alumalive available at Blue Beacon Truck Washes came up with like comments. We were in Florida during the Covid in April. So needing a day out drove 240 miles round trip to acquire some of this polish and find out for myself if it was any good . It looked like what Rayin has shown. Well I am here to tell you it was amazing, have to see it to believe it good. Same thing no effort and shiney, silver shiney! Well not all Blue Beacons carry it, spotty finding it in the dark blue bottle and not cheap at 18 bucks a bottle, no not a big bottle either maybe 8 oz. So my thought is someone else sells this stuff cause if only BB sells it no one is going to get rich with such limited availability so Ray you may have hit on the other source..

jleamont Report post Posted June 27, 2020 I must admit I have tried several products over the years and this one has done us well, it’s not expensive and available at most automobile parts stores (chains). My wheels were so bad I bought a polishing cone for my cordless drill and applied it with that and buffed it off with a towel. Just be careful with any powered applicators, start off slow or the product will be all over you including your hair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 27, 2020 Wonder if either one will work better than Mothers on a MC? On my Alcoa's, slick mist works fine for us! Spray on, wipe off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted June 27, 2020 Carl, as I stated far superior to Mothers!!!!!you will not believe the difference till you try it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted June 27, 2020 The California Custom Purple is a 2-part package, the deoxidizer is used first, no need to wipe off, then the purple aluminum polish. It beat Mothers hands down for final finish and ease of use, as I have tested several brands. In this video the guy uses small scraps of carpet to apply the polish.
