    Good stuff, I too have been using it for over twenty years. I use it for everything not just automotive stuff. I've got a least two tins of it in the garage right now.

    Just remember to wear some gloves if you don't want your hands turning black.

    Been using it since I was in the USAF in the '60's. I've never found anything that works better.

    Havent used it on anything but car parts since they invented Stay-Brite for the uniform buttons and do-dads. But it still works just like it used too, it and the old Brasso I had in the cabnit just a few months ago on a peice of Hood Stainless.

    Cotton soaked in Mineral Spirits and a little Kerosene.
    Basically the main ingrediants that are in car polishes.

    I used that crap by the pound in the Navy... It was the greatest for polishing brass.. I remember polishing brass till my fingers felt like falling off and were black as night.. whatever was shined sure looked pretty and I always wanted to kill the first Squid that touched it and left greasy fingerprints on the item...
     
  12. Yup, Eagle One makes it now, can get it at that evil big box store for about 4 smackers a can.

    Works just as good as the 50 year old can my granddad handed down to me.

    Never dull is good stuff, don't get me wrong. I still have a can too. I think it is older than anything that was invented that could be polished. BUT...of course there is always a new kid on the block that comes up with something better.....NUVITE. That stuff comes in different grades. A courser grade to start on some really tough dulled stuff, then it works into another grade, almost like polishing compound. Then there is the final for the super polishing. A little dab goes a long way with that stuff. I just finished using it to polish my airplane last summer, and it looks like a mirror.

    The there is the WENOL stuff. The red tube for the the courser work, good for chrome. The Blue tube is a softer grade. It's good for chrome, stainless steel and aluminum. I've had some good success with this stuff too. Again, just a little dab goes a long way. And yes with either the NUVITE or the WENOL, you're going to get black hands unless you wear some old cotton gloves you can throw away afterwards.

    Always ask your family members for some old flannel clothing, they are through with. But be sure to take off the buttons. The flannel is the best stuff I've found for buffing.

    AND...another little trick of using any of the stuff, but especially the Never Dull, and that is to put a little flour on a rag and buff over what you think you just got all the black off of. The flour will get off any left over black residue, but leave the shine.

    Squid? I thought we were Anchor Clankers! :D The first thing I thought of when seeing the subject line was shining the belt buckles on my dress blues, then remembered all the brass on the Quarterdeck that the guys had to shine every watch. Haha! Anyone who has been in the military has plenty of experience with Nevr Dull. Good stuff for sure, especially applied with a liberal dose of elbow grease.
     
  23. Been using it since my first car in '86

    i've used it for years to polish brass fittings on my horse's show bridles. works wonders. love that stuff!
     
  27. In the Fire Dept. in the USAF... LOTS of brass and chrome and stainless on those big "Crash" trucks... Used to get it in 1 gallon (I think) tubs there, back in 1970-1974 -still use it. I have some old aluminum wheels (Raders) on my 57 VW... aluminum technology wasn't what it is now, they will dull out quickly, Never-Dull is what I have been using, like it better than anything else out there, gotten used to the smell after 40 years...
     
  28. I've been using it since I was in the USAF ('81-'90). My first indoctrination to it was in Basic Training. I was the "Chrome Guy", who's job was to shine anything in the dorm that was polished (water fountains, threshold strips, door knobs, latches, etc.).

    It still works great, and yes, the smell is something that brings back many memories.

    Been using it on my car for years. Didn't know it would do some of the other things you guys said, I'll be testing it out for other uses. Thanks

    always thought of never dull as never shiny either... i've been really happy w/ autosol...it works great w/ 0000 steel wool for cleaning and polishing, and buffs out beyond what i've experienced w/ neverdull... i've tried autosol side by side w/ never dull on aluminum, and i found never dull to be hazy in comparison... also had better protection against water spots/staining w/ autosol on aluminum...
