Re: Aluminum rim polish: Mother or Blue Magic or ?

Wenol, flitz, Etc,etc, are usually pink in color and smell like ammonia. The cheapest of these and readily available is 3m metal polish in a black plastic tub, about $13 for 10 ounces if i remember correctly. My tub is packed away in another town right now.

I've dabbled in clock repairs and submerging brass in an ammoniated liquid cleaner makes it look new, and i think the ammonia is doing an ion exchange on aluminum and brass, not sure though.
