    Mother's chrome polish. It's a non-abrasive liquid, and what the chrome shop told me to use on my black nickel parts.

    The key phrase here is NON-ABRASIVE. Completely. It's a bluish, "lotiony" liquid with no discernable abrasives.

    I love the stuff.

    (There's a slightly different packaging with a longer shot of the car wheel and no yellow banner. Same stuff. I get it at AutoZone.)

    I just came on to check out that same thing... Seriously... Heard about mothers. Then saw it at the store today. Well I guess I should try it out. Anyone use the polishing attachments?
