Tips were extremely dirty.





Right tip after P21S Metal Wash.

Pre-soak.



Dull paint and minor swirling.



After claying just the trunk.





Halfway through polishing.





Left half polished, right half not polished.

Hood finished.

Looks good!

How do you like CG Metal Polish?

I have been using M105 by hand on chrome tips and it is amazing
