I’ve seen Adam Savage use that stuff on some of his special effects items. Interesting suggestion, thanks.Hi Guys,
I have the perfect solution to this question, Silver leaf Rub'nBuff.
I have used it for years on cast alloy & it bring it up like new. You just need a tiny amount, rub it into de-greased alloy with someone else's toothbrush and polish off the excess. I did a complete 1996 R100R and it looked like new.
It is wax based and gives a slightly waterproof coat and if you get it on anything that you didn't intend, like black paint or rubber, it comes off easily with some petrol on a rag.
I also use black Rub'nBuff (Ebony) on my brake calipers. It's only £7 a tube and you could do a complete engine with one tube, it goes far!

Thanks! Great idea. I’m off to find someone else’s autosolI've found the bare alloy cast parts clean up well with some Autosol applied with a toothbrush ... don't use your own, find someone elses!
