Product Review: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish Will Get Your Exhaust Tips Looking Like New!

If you are like most Corvette owners, one of the most important aspects of owning your car is the enjoyment achieved while (and after) cleaning it.  Since purchasing my Corvette a few years ago, I’ve been on a quest to discover the perfect cleaning products for every surface of my car.  I’ve looked for the best waxes, polishes, glass cleaners, wheel cleaners, leather cleaners (and conditioners), engine degreasers, etc.  However, there’s one area that many people (including me) may have neglected when investing in their car care needs: the exhaust tips.

My 2013 Chevrolet Corvette has been used to test many quality cleaning products.

Part of my dilemma has always been that I’ve struggled to find a product that really works that way I want it to.  I’ve purchased a handful of various metal polishes that promise “a bright, shiny finish.”  Unfortunately, these products have either met with less than desirable results, or they’ve required an appreciable amount of work to really get the job done.  I’m not saying I’ve never found a product that gets the job done.  What I AM saying is that, until now, I’ve never been impressed enough with any product enough to write about it here.

That changed this past week after I tried Mother’s Mag & Aluminum Polish for the first time.

I am sure that many of you are probably laughing at me.  What kind of “car guy” doesn’t know about Mother’s Mag & Aluminum Polish?  I can hear the snickers already.  However, I DO know about it.  I am wholly aware that the Mother’s company got its start by selling this very same polish I am writing about today.  I am also aware that many of their products – including all sorts of polishes and waxes – are well respected (I own several of them) and used by car enthusiasts the world over.
