There is one and only one metal polish i use. (Blue Magic metal polish) Smells to high heaven, but will not cut though the lettering, if used properly. small amounts, small areas at a time. My $.02 Tim, hope this helps, Cheers Tom.
I used to use that stuff 40 years ago. I didn't know it was still around. If I remember right, I also used it to polish up faded taillight lenses. Smells like ammonia if I remember correctly.
