Exhaust tips on the sedan went from brown and sooty to mirror-clean in two passes. Took maybe ten minutes per tip with a cloth. Decent amount of cut for something this fine.

Professional results without a machine

Reviews
What our customers say
Takes a bit of elbow grease on stubborn tarnish, but the finish once you buff it off is genuinely impressive. Used it on the chrome door handles and some stainless trim - packaging from Detailer SA was solid, nothing rattling around.
Questions
Frequently asked
What metal surfaces can I use Soft99 Metal Polish on?
It's formulated for chrome, stainless steel and aluminium. It works on automotive brightwork like trim, bumpers and exhaust tips, as well as aluminium wheels, brake caliper covers and household metal items such as cutlery, cookware and fixtures. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first on any surface you're unsure about.
Do I need a machine polisher to use this product?
No machine is required. Soft99 Metal Polish is designed to work by hand with a clean, soft cloth. Apply a small amount, work it in using circular motions, then buff off the residue to reveal the finish.
How much tarnish and oxidation will it remove?
The fine abrasive formula is suited to removing tarnish and light oxidation. For heavier tarnish, a second pass delivers noticeably better results. If the metal has heavy pitting or deep corrosion, more aggressive mechanical preparation may be needed first.
Is it safe to use on painted or lacquered metal surfaces?
Soft99 Metal Polish is formulated for bare, uncoated metal surfaces. Use caution on lacquered or anodised finishes, as the abrasive action could affect those coatings. Stick to exposed bare metal for best results.
Can I use it on chrome-plated plastic trim?
The product is formulated for metal surfaces. Chrome-plated plastic trim can be delicate, so test in an inconspicuous spot first and use very light pressure. It will not restore the underlying plastic if the plating has failed.
How do I get the best result on exhaust tips?
Allow the exhaust tip to cool completely before applying. Remove loose soot or carbon with a dedicated cleaner first if heavily soiled. Then apply Soft99 Metal Polish with a soft cloth using firm circular motions. For stubborn discolouration, a second pass is recommended. Buff off fully to reveal the shine.
How much product do I need per application?
A small amount goes a long way. Use just enough to coat the cloth lightly - you don't need a thick layer. Working in small sections at a time ensures even coverage and makes buff-off easy.
Can I use this product on household items like cutlery and cookware?
Yes, Soft99 Metal Polish is suitable for household metal items including cutlery, cookware and fixtures. Rinse the item thoroughly with clean water after polishing and before any food contact, and dry completely.
