Green Dragon Metal Polish

So the other week my neighbor saw me polishing my exhaust tips with Never Dull as he was pulling into his driveway.. He handed me a sample of this stuff called "Green Dragon". Evidently he walks around with this, but my neighbor is a whole other story in himself. Anyway...

After 2 weeks the never dull wore off and I decided to use the Green Dragon Polish. I put it on last night, and its looking good, but I want to see how well it holds up after a few weeks of Rotary heat..

Hopefully it can last and I'll have a new regular polish to use.

I'll report back with an update later.

Theres a lot of talk on this board about the english polish. I'll give the dragon a chance to see how it does. It was free for me, so I might as well test it out.

Just compare it against Nevrdull, since you have a good baseline for something that you've been using regularly.

update: the polish wasnt very good. it was shiney the day i put it on, but soon there after the tips turned colors again.

never dull worked better.

i guess that english polish is still the winner.

My favorite polish is Meguiars Metal Polysh, that stuff is awesome, I play guitar also, and all the metal on it is chrome. You couldn't even tell it was chrome anymore it got oxidized so bad, I spent about a day polishing every piece and it shines like brand new again. I use it on my HKS exhaust everytime I wash my car and my exhaust looks just like the day I put it on. Never Dull is ok, but I'm just not a fan of polishing with wadding.

I use "Mother's" Metal polish on everything. Well, not everything but I did use it on my shift **** and it took all the fine scratches out and got it looking shinny! Any more, and I could turn it chrome...if I wanted to.

I use it on my pipes too. Lasts about two weeks. Let us know about that green dragon stuff & where to buy kay?

Edit: Whoops. Sorry.

I think he just did let us know: it didn't work well, not as well as neverdull.

You should try English Custom Hot Environment & Chrome polish, it is lasting me far more that two weeks on the exhaust pipes.
