Afterburner backbox- how to restore shine ?
Okay guys, Afterburner backbox is still to be fitted so would be an ideal time to get it looking its best !! so okay any tips on getting the rather now dull looking finish back to new again, would a polishing mop work okay on something this shape or are best results going to be had by hand ?? any decent metal polish do the job ?

Okay no probs thanks for that , once cleaned how well does the shiny finish normally last ?? appreciate its not the time off year to be talking about shiny boxes !! but after a quick wash does the shine normally reappear okay ?

Don't use stuff like Autosol on cromed finishes it is an abrasive and permenantly dulls the finish. Use a three stage polishing kit, you can get a good one from halfrauds.

The guide on DW you linked is ok for quick and easy results but you will lose the mirror finish. Get up close to it and you would see - read the back of the tubes and it says not for use on mirror finish, same goes for equivilent products from Meguires and AutoGlym.
I would give you a link to the kit but I'm on my mobile and it's a ball ache.
