Default A REAL good aluminum and chrome polish!

I've tried 6 or so different metal/aluminum polishes over the past few years - and they all work about the same, more or less, in spite of all the claims to be the best thing since the discovery of metal. I kept coming back to Semichrome for aluminum, but found myself still willing to try another that might be better, especially on really needy metal (short of sanding or resorting to a buffing wheel and some aggressive compounds).

Then I came across a discussion on the "other" (CF) forum discussing Blingmaster Aluminum Polish and find it to be THE BEST by far of anything I've tried to date. On a scale of 1-10, with BLING at 10, I'd put all the rest of the more commonly known ones in the 3-4 range, and maybe Semichrome at a 5. Anyone else using this stuff? (I especially like it for polishing my Magnaflow exhaust tips. Carbon gets rather baked on and stains the metal, requiring several apps to get them clean. BUT! This new stuff - a gray, watery like viscosity (if that's the right word) cuts through the stains and built up crud almost instantly. And, the shine is top drawer!)

Now that my baby has chrome ZR-1 wheels on her, their sealant intrigues me and I thought I would buy their kit. Anyone tried this or their other stuff??

The underlined name in his post is actually a link that will take you to a source with pricing.
