Car Polish by Eagle One, Nevr-Dull Wadding Metal Polish, 5 Oz

I’ve been really impressed with this product! Several of my family members use and recommend it. It works wonderfully on my husband's motorcycle, easily removing small bits of rust and leaving the chrome with a brilliant, shiny finish. It’s simple to use and gives professional-looking results. While I do wish the product lasted longer and went further, the quality of the clean makes it worth it. It glosses over minor surface scratches. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to keep their chrome surfaces looking their best!

I scrolled the top reviews and noticed that not one of them mentioned what this product contains and how the contents make it work and why the product smell is strong, nor why some people aren’t fans of the smell.I ordered this polish because it’s fairly cheap and comes ready to use for removing light rust from otherwise good condition chrome on my 1981 Honda CB650. Upon opening it I immediately knew what the solvent smell was. This NEVR-DULL is nothing more than a cotton material to polish with that is soaked in MINERAL SPIRITS, an oil based solvent normally used in conjunction with oil based paint and primers (as opposed to water based paint and primer know as latex paint). Mineral Spirits is commonly called “Paint Thinner” as well and can be used for a variety of things but mostly used for thinning oil paint aka enamel paint used on interior home trim, baseboards, chair railing, crown molding, and interior doors, and is known for its durability and shine/sheen. It’s also used to thin paint before being used in a spray rig that would be used to spray cabinet doors for kitchens, etc. Mineral spirits is used for cleanup as well for any drops landing where they aren’t supposed to be and for cleanup on the spray rig.I say this because now that I know it’s just mineral spirits aka paint thinner, I know it will work great to remove light rust on my motorcycle’s chrome exhaust, front forks, and rear springs, etc. It does in fact add a bit of protection to prevent future rust but since 100% of people who use this product will also need to wipe it back off using a clean dry cloth and at that point the protection is pretty minimal. It will still protect the metal from rust but for a quite limited amount of time and a very limited amount of exposure to any liquids or water. I’m mentioning this to recommend an actual protective product such as ceramic coating (something like Chemical Guys ceramic coating) or even better, using an acrylic coating/sealant called “Klasse Sealant Glaze” to give lengthy protection time. Don’t even try to cheap out and use any type of carnauba wax as a protectant, like Turtle Wax or whatever. It will help to clean it up if you do and those waxes have lots of use cases but they do NOT protect from contaminants, water spots, tree saps or insect explosions, oxidation, staining, UV, iron, brake pad dust, and whatever else.This NEVE-DULL polishing product is great and the fact that it’s simple and uses a common solvent is a good thing given it’s also quite inexpensive. I use this product initially to clean up chrome and then follow it up with a less abrasive polish that doesn’t contain solvents, then I use a ceramic or acrylic sealant to protect. After the sealant you can use the carnauba wax to deepen the shines of paint and chrome. I’m actually going to be spraying my chrome engine cover plates that are facing outwards on all motorcycle engines with Duracoat Clear Coat after I clean them up and shine them up with this NEVR-DULL. So, I’m happy with this stuff and it’s got a great use case for motorcycles and vehicles.

Instructions are simple - just rub with the wool until tarnish is off, then buff with a dry cloth. The dry cloth part might seem optional, but it’s what takes it from "huh that’s a pretty good shine" to blinding-levels. Which is nice since it gives versatility in leaving it at a more muted color, or super high polish.It works EXCELLENTLY with brass, but with copper I find a cream based polish is best. I included a comparison photo. NevrDull gave a result on copper that would be the equivalent of a couple weeks - a month of tarnish. But using Mauviel CopperBrill gave the copper that brand-spanking new factory pink shine. Mauviel is expensive so I assume Wright’s or other cream-based copper polish brands would work just as well.It’s my first time buying so can’t compare the dryness to what it might be like bought in store (so likely a fresher batch). The wool at the top definitely seemed dryer than when I’d used up those bits and gotten to the ones beneath, but it still worked the exact same.All in all, I’m very happy as it’s a super affordable price and goes a long way (I keep using the wool until it’s absolutely jet black - if it’s not gotten to that point, I’ll pop it back in the tin for another day.) I have lots of brass items, so it’s great for things like lamps you don’t want to get wet. I’d still use it for copper as first step only if the item was extremely tarnished, and then follow up with a polishing cream. For light to moderate tarnish, it’s not worth the effortI just wish they formulated this as a cloth or pad which would be SO much easier as the wool is rather cumbersome to use. But regardless this will definitely be a continuous purchase for me

Nevr-Dull is a petroleum based product that can be used on most any metals. It is not a miracle product, and in my limited experience it is not very good at heavily oxidized surfaces. To me it seems like more of a cleaner than a true polish. It works pretty well on gun parts where very light surface rust is accumulating. I tried it on some antique brass bells, but ended up using other methods and instead used this product to clean after the heavier polishing.What I like best about it is the ability to pinch out the exact amount I need; a can this size should last a long time. What I don't like is the smell, which is similar to fuel, but not as strong or volatile as something like gasoline.In summary, I believe this is a great household product which will find many uses and should last a long time.

I've always had decent luck with NevrDull. So it is with a certain amount of chagrin that I write this is in a review: It failed me. I could not get a high level of tarnish off an item and resorted to BarKeeper's Friend, which worked like magic, also cutting through the old lacquer. After I had done that, the NevrDull worked as a nice finishing polish, but for the hard work, well, I've already said. Use a toothbrush for the hard to get areas.

I have trying for awhile to clean the exhaust build up on my Silverado High Country 6.2 exhaust tips. Nothing really worked until I bought the Eagle 1 product. It completely cleaned my exhaust tips! Great product - does the job - highly recommend for cleaning chrome!
