Alright so I've seen this stuff adveritised on TV and thought to myself, "Does this really work?"



First off this stuff isn't cheap. The package that I bought which includes (1) Buffing ball and (1) 4oz container of Flitz metal polish set me back $30.00. I bought it at Boat US. Only other thing you'll need is a drill to attach the buffing ball to and you're good to go.



Here's what I was working with:

Pretty grimy if I do say so myself Everyone knows that the ladies don't like a nasty looking muffler.

After jacking up the car and removing my rear lip (for easier access) I applied a light even coat (as per the directions) and proceeded to buff. This stuff is great because the drill does all the work. This is after about 5 minutes. Already showing an improvement.


I periodically applied a small amount to a rag and wiped it on th muffler and muffler tip and continued to polish. It's important that I mention I used a corded "high speed" Milwaukee drill. Results may vary depending on what drill you use. After a total of 30 minutes or so I ended up with this:




Pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I'm definately happy w/ the results. I also ended up doing my lower tie bar while I was at it.

In closing, I give Flitz In under an hour I went from the ladies doing this when they saw my muffler to . Yeah life is good

Beauty shot for good measure (go ahead and run my plates):

the buffing ball looks like a brain attached to that power drill

Worth the 30 bucks? Instead of getting some metal polish stuff and a polishing wheel?

If I had gone that route I wouldn't have been able to make this cool thread. Attention from complete strangers on an internet message board is worth the $24.00 to me any day.
