I was looking for a polish that would allow me to polish nickel silver trim on an unfinished horn after chem cleaning it for a customer. Ted Cox has an Alexander 163 made totally of this alloy and is unlacquered. It is very nicely shined, as well. I asked him what he used on it, and he showed me a huge tub of Simichrome. I got the address info for the importer from the can and had the shop buy a bunch. It seemed to be exotic and difficult to locate. A few months later, I discovered this polish in abundance in the motorcycle shop directly across the street. They had been selling the product for over ten years! Needless to say, I felt fairly foolish.

That is one fine polish.

What do you use to degrease the area after you buff or rag? We use denatured alcohol for spot stuff, and used trichloroethylene in a soaking tank back when we still did a lot of overhauls. (Major ventilation in THAT room!!)
