I’d pass on the marketing hype and the nifty ‘buffing ball’, but I have been using Flitz for 8 or 9 years . It’s big in the Marine industry and can be used to polish almost anything hard. I’ve even restored ‘yellowed’ headlight covers with it. It comes in liquid or paste form, I prefer the paste. As Tim stated, “a little goes a long way”. I have yet to find a better non-abrasive polish. Give it a try, I betcha’ like it.

I’ve been selling Flitz for 6 years now and the polish has been around for approximately 30 years. One characteristic of Flitz Polish is that it is non-abrasive and acid free so it is safe on metals and non-metals. It is also industrial strength so a little goes a long way. (www.FlitzUSA.com)

Flitz isn’t a flash in the pan product. As the commenter above noted, it’s been around a long time. Maybe this marketing scheme is new, but the product isn’t. Corvette enthusiasts know that a tube of Flitz is one of the best things out there for restoring the transparency of convertible rear windows that have gone opaque. One of the ‘vette houses (Ecklers … http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=39878&dept%5Fid=126 ) has even taken to selling Flitz expressly for this purpose, albeit at a substantial markup … $10.99 for a single tube.

Flitz has been around for a long time. I haven’t tried it, but I’ve been looking for a tube. The Bakelite cleaning community (e.g. people who restore vintage electronics) swear by Flitz for it’s Bakelite restoring properties.
