Happich Semi Chrome ---amazing stuff. Used by Harley owners to polish aluminum, chrome and remove the blue from chrome exhaust tubing. Best stuff I've ever tried---makes aluminum shine like bright chrome.

Mothers Aluminum Polish!!!!!

Semichrome is better than Mothers, seriously. I quit using Mothers 2 years ago.
Our local Harley shop turned me on to Happich semichrome. Amazing stuff & super easy to use.

The Mothers worked better on my old Harley Shovelhead than the Happich. The newer Harley alloys may polish better with the Happich. The Mothers also didn't oxidize as fast. I haven't polished much aluminum in the last 10 years so the polish formulas may have changed as well.

Since I pulled the old Harley parts out of storage that will probably change in the not too distant future, or I'll just buy chrome!

Are you the one selling it?

well folks I happen to know a thing or 2 about polished alum. I have in fact used all of the above. Of the above mentioned simichrome is the best. Never dull is the worst. Sorry but it's the truth.

Now the stuff the old man is talking about is better than all of the other stuff put together. It will remove blueing from chrome also. It works on s.s., brass, alum., chrome, sterling silver you name it. I think I even used it to polish a scratched cd. It lasts forever also. You can put some on an old rag and polish your ac lines in about 5 min. this is if they've never been touched.
Dwight is a good buddy and he showed me the stuff. I have been hooked ever since. My Mom sells antiques and now she's hooked also. It cleans stuff like new.

Yes sir it's my auction. I would not use it nor would I recommend it if it wasn't the best alumimun polish on the market. I believe in it so much that I give anybody a 100% money back guarantee with every bottle you buy. If you use it and then don't like it, send it back and get a full refund. I've sold several cases of this polish on ebay and have had nothing but praise back from my customers. The proof is in the polish!!

I received my bottle of Busch Polish today. Tested it out on a few small billet pieces I have left over from the R/T.

Just wondering if there is a certain technique for this, because all my findings are is, it's very aggressive, and very abrassive. I tried it on several different spots, with 2 different type clothes (terry/microfiber) and man does it leave some scratches, and gave it a dull finish. I used a back and forth motion. I did the exact same method with Mother's Billet Polish, no scratches, and shine is bright and clean, like chrome. It took water spots off alot easier than Mother's.

Just looking for suggestions so I can give it a fair chance.

well this is Dwight domain but here are my thoughts. First off I use this stuf right after I'm done buffing. It removes the compound and shines like crazy. It is not agressive. I've had similar things happen twice. If you don't keep flipping the rag to a clean spot it will get warm and the pol. will kind of set up. Almost like buffing compound. When this happens I just put a drop on that area and easily rub it away with a clean cloth. I just use old socks and t-shirts so a microfiber isn't even necessary.
Make sure there isn't any dirt in the rag too. The polish will not cause scratches but it sill bring out any hidden imperfections because it hi-lites the good spots so much. Just my .02. I love the stuff and have never had any issues at all. I even used it on an untouched piece of alum. heat sink and it polished it up without a buffer.

Well, I don't know. I'm getting the same results no matter which material I use. I don't work it in long enough for it to set up like a compound would. I'm just doing it by hand, and as of now, the Mother's is working better. I'll wait for Dwight to give me some suggestions before I make a decision on it. I don't think I'm doing it wrong, but he may have a better way. Thanks for your reply.

the only other thing I can add is the part has to be smooth to really pol. I tried it on some s.s. that had texture to it and it didn't work. I tried it on some s.s. that was sanded smooth and it was excellent.

I have been using it on a billet fuse box cover, so it is perfectly smooth.

I've used it on everything, billet, non-billet, stainless, chrome, copper, and I've never had a problem with scratches. Always make sure you shake the bottle well before use. I use the soft diapers from Walmart to apply and buff. Mike has pretty well sumed it up for the application and removal. You are the first person to ever say anything about scratching.

The polish is for uncoated aluminum. Do you have a sealant applied to your billet? I give you a 100% money back guarantee if your not completely satisfied and be more than happy to refund your money. LMK!

Any chance I could see a pic. of the fuse box cover? I'm kinda curious now. It hasn't been clear powder coated or zoop sealed has it?

None of the pieces have been coated with anything. They're all raw material. I'll see if I can get my camera to capture the scratches. I shook the bottle for about 2 minutes before using it. I used a 100% cotton t-shirt and it seemed to scratch less, but still more than Mother's did. I will try using some cotton diapers as Dwight suggested.

I just re-read your first post and you said you used terry cloth and microfiber. I'm assuming you applied it with the terry colth and polished with the microfiber. The terry colth is by nature a little stiff and could cause that to happen. I'm not saying that was the problem because I have never used the terry colth to apply any kind of polish or wax just because of it being a little stiffer. I've always applied all my waxes and polishes with the diapers and never had any problems. LMK what you want to do because I'm commented to making you happy, whatever it takes.

No, I used the terry cloth (per bottle's suggestion) to both apply it and then take it off with the same cloth. Same as the microfiber. And yes, it was worse with the terry cloth, which I figured would happen, so I moved to the microfiber. I'm going to get some cloth diapers and try those. I just want to give it a fair chance because I like how it cuts through waterspots better than Mother's. :biggthumpup:

Dwight's a good buddy. If you run into a problem you can't fix send it to me and I'll rebuff it for you No charge.

I appreciate that. I have a bench buffer in the basement, so that's no problem. I'm not trying to give the polish a bad rap, or Dwight. I got some 100% cotton towels today, I think they're softer than the diapers, so we'll see. As I stated before, I like how the polish cuts through the waterspots easily, so if anything, I'll use it for that, and run some Mother's polish after that. I remember having issues with microfiber towels causing scratches on billet before, so we'll see with these new towels.
