Did you notice a big difference in the end result with the cyclo vs. California Custom?

In this first image the entire wing was polished with California Custom, then the left side (outboard) was polished with Nuvite using a buffer and a cyclo machine. The California Custom left a slight yellow luster to the aluminum and you can see how clear the Nuvite polish worled.



To be fair I only went over the wing once with California Custom. Had I gone over it a few more times the results would have been better. Here is the completed wing.

I used a 8” foam polishing pad on a corded drill for the polish and a hand buff. I did use the de-ox as well.

hey, I’m interested in this too. . Anyone know what the “ingredients” are. Any wax or silicones?

I sent a request to California Custom Products asking if there was Silicone in the deoxidizer or their purple polish. Mike responded promptly and said there was no silicone in either one.
