Flitz

[Ganderite]

I have seen Flitz mentioned on here for polishing metal. Where is it sold? Wally Mart? Canadian Tire? Tim Horten's?

 

[Paulinski]

Most gun shops should have it in stock.

I bought a tube at Simmons in Hamilton.

Try a hard ware store?

i've used flitz in the past. it works but can be a real mess on little crevices and seams. if you have not tried never-dull, you should take a look at it, easy and works surprisingly well for a polish. its basically a cotton baton soaked with polishing compounds and comes in a tin. canadian tire or home hardware should have it.

You can also use Autosol - comes in a metal tube - works the same as Flitz.

I think I have seen it at the Tire.

C. Tire or hardware store is going to be most cost effective place to purchase - watch the price rise elsewhere...

Good luck - SD

JUST LOOKED - Home Hardware website lists both! Autosol is less expensive - take your pick.

Flitz ROCK ... especially on BLUE surfaces!

here is a browning hipower a guy did up with flitz and a buffing wheel on low speed with the dremel....

Flitz, Autosol and Simichrome are all good polishes and get pretty much the same outcome. I have autosol and simichrome and use them regularly on my knives.

Check places like NAPA, etc for autosol. I'd bet you could find it in Cdn tire

What type of metal will you be polishing? I've used Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish on my stainless S&W Model 686 with good results--it's available at Canadian Tire.

Does Flitz really work on a blue finish gun?

 

[jaybird]

Here is a 686 that I had using Autosol. The gun looked like it was nickeled.

 

[ian_in_vic]

Yes, used gently, it'll make a blued Norc 1911 look pretty amazing.

 

[Nonus]

I was looking for this stuff too, nothing at Wally World or Crappy Tire.

 

[Master-G]

Casper--I thought that was mine for a second! (well, until I saw the barrel lug)

(polished with Mother's Mag and Aluminum)

 

[SandRoad]

As a polish Flitz is a bit more aggressive than JB. I don't know how it compares to other polishes.

 

[Undergiver]

I had to order Flitz on ebay...

You can find Flitz at Lordco, Napa and many other automotive supply shops. Check out the Harley Davidson Motorcycle shops too.
