Zephyr takes alot of elbow grease. California purple is alot easier. I just want to use the homemade method this time around.

I joined just to reply to this thread to see if you guys can answer for me, did i pay 15 bucks for basically scented water and baking soda, heres the story,
A few weeks back i grab a bottle of aluminum polish at wallymart, i like trying different products and never seen white diamond before,
I also didnt realize it cost that much as i just grabbed it on our monthly shopping trip,
So at home before i tried it i google for info and reviews and it seems most people love it except a few who says it scratched their chrome odd since it says on the bottle for aluminum and chrome, ( i tested it on chrome, it did scrath it )
So i tried it on unwashed clean aluminum wheels since it said no pre wash needed, goes against what i was taught, anyway, first thing i noticed was it seemed very thin, even after shaking it well, i used just a clean red shop rag, the instructions was to the effect of a rub it in then wait a minute and wipe it off, i thought where have i read that before, ( it was here ) it does work well i would say about the same or slightly less results than using say mothers polish the same way,
The product set about a week and was separated in the bottle and sure looked like water, then i recalled what i read here,
Oh boy, so is white diamond polish great stuff or did i pay 15 bucks for basically scented water and baking soda, or i guess the answer could be both,
Thanks all
cheers

Got this truck new with 4000 mikes on it last year. We get a free wash every month at a truck wash few miles down the road. I havent never been there lol. So i probably wont be falling for this scam..

I wasnt posting about the scam but rather did any one know what is white diamond made of,
I hope i didnt pay 15 bucks for baking soda and water -

i am thinking stuff like rubbing alcohol will flash too quickly, i use windex ( store brand im cheap ) in my air brush when i shoot water based acrylics, it doesnt flash as quickly as alcohol,
that diamond polish takes a spell to dry it has an odd feel of perhaps water with a touch of glycerin, -
They couldn’t throw in a Bill or Bob in the mix?
