At Surf City Garage, we take our stainless steel seriously. We needed a workhorse polish that removed road film, restored tarnished moldings and trim, and gave all the stainless steel it touched a dazzling shine. Plus it had to be easy to use whether we were polishing by hand or machine. So we locked our chemist in the lab until he produced the Perfect Polish we wanted. Take a look for yourself
