Why Metal Trim Needs Regular Maintenance
Over time, the metal trim on your car, including chrome, aluminum, stainless steel, and polished metal accents, can become dull, oxidized, or stained due to exposure to the elements. UV rays, rain, salt, brake dust, and road grime contribute to the gradual degradation of the metal’s shine, leaving it looking faded or corroded.
Regular maintenance with a high-quality metal polish prevents oxidation and corrosion, while restoring the brilliant shine that makes your vehicle stand out.
If your metal trim, bumpers, exhaust tips, or wheels look dull, hazy, or stained, it’s time for a proper metal polishing treatment to bring back their original luster.
The Benefits of Using a Metal Polish
✔ Removes oxidation, rust stains, and discoloration
✔ Restores shine and enhances metal surfaces
✔ Creates a protective layer to prevent future corrosion
✔ Safe for multiple metals like chrome, aluminum, and stainless steel
✔ Improves the overall look of your vehicle’s exterior
How to Use Metal Polish for Best Results
1. Clean the Surface First
Before applying any polish, make sure to thoroughly wash the vehicle to remove surface dirt and grime. Use a pH-balanced car shampoo like Unlockd High Foaming Car Wash to prevent damage.
2. Apply Unlockd Metal Polish
Shake the bottle well. Using a soft microfiber cloth or an applicator pad, apply a small amount of Unlockd Metal Polish onto the metal surface.
3. Work the Product In
Rub the polish onto the surface using circular motions, applying moderate pressure to remove oxidation and stains.
4. Buff to a High Shine
Allow the polish to dry slightly before using a clean microfiber towel to buff the metal until it achieves a deep, mirror-like shine.
5. Use a Machine Polisher for Heavy Oxidation
For older or highly oxidized metal, use a high-speed polisher with a wool buffing pad to break down heavy oxidation. Start with medium pressure, then reduce pressure to create a brilliant finish.
