Metal Polish Paste (1.76oz)

I’m a knife enthusiast and hobbyist focused on sharpening and restoring blades, and after working with several different polishing products, Flitz Metal Polish Paste has become my go-to compound. This stuff simply works. It does an excellent job of removing light scratches, surface abrasions, and oxidation, and it consistently brings steel to a clean, bright finish. Whether I’m restoring older knives or refining the look of a freshly sharpened blade, Flitz delivers reliable, repeatable results. What I appreciate most is how easy it is to work with. A small amount goes a long way, it spreads evenly, and it buffs off clean without leaving heavy residue. For both hand polishing and machine-assisted work, it performs extremely well. I’ve tried a handful of polishing products over time, and this one continues to outperform most of them in terms of finish quality and ease of use. For anyone into knife maintenance, restoration, or fine metal finishing, this is an essential product to keep on the bench. Highly recommended.

The Flitz Multi-Purpose Metal Polish Paste is truly impressive. I used it on stainless steel, chrome, and even some old metal parts, and it brought everything back to life with a beautiful shine. A little goes a long way, and the results are immediate. It’s easy to apply, not too messy, and made in the USA — which I always appreciate. If you want something that actually works and restores surfaces to look like new, this is the polish to get. Highly recommended!

I used this on a Stiffel lamp that had clearly spent several years aging gracefully (and damply) in a basement. The finish was dull, uneven, and overdue for some attention. I’m not a metalworker—just a hobbyist. I followed the instructions: wipe it on, rub it in, and repeat as needed. After a few passes, the finish brightened evenly and the details came back without crossing into over-polished territory. This isn’t a one-wipe miracle, which I actually appreciate. You stay in control. Work in stages, stop when it looks right, and walk away. No streaks. No residue. No harsh smell. 👍 What worked well • Improved the finish without damaging it • Details stayed crisp • Clean, predictable results Good to know • Heavier tarnish takes more than one pass • Taking your time pays off I’d use this again on vintage lamps or brass-finished pieces that need real improvement—not shortcuts. ✨

Pretty expensive. I get the same results with car polishing compound (not wax). And a dremel. Per dollar: I’ll probably get 10 times as many frets done with car polish. It may end up closer to 30 or 40 times. I haven’t used much of the car polish yet. I use this on guitar frets. I tested this using a light and very fine graph paper. I judged based on the quality of the reflection. It works well, is compact, and has no unpleasant smell. The viscosity and texture are great. Will not drip. Great lubricity. Not much drag on the Dremel. It will scorch and stick to the metal if you use a power buffer too fast or hard. This was my mistake. It came off with little effort. If you only need a dab once in a while, this is an excellent choice. I double-buff hundreds of guitar frets. I use a lot of polish. Car polish makes more sense, financially.

For other guitarists out there: This product works great for removing the oxidation that tarnishes nickel frets over time. And it only takes a very small amount to clean and polish a fret. So don’t let the small 1.76 oz package size concern you. It will be years before the tube is empty. I also recommend using “FrogTape” to mask the fretboard in between the frets. It works great to keep the polish off the fretboard while cleaning and polishing.

This polish is great. It works exactly as advertised. If you have watched any of the videos from Flitz about how this polish works, you will will experience the same results. It really cleans up the look of the metal. I used the flitz metal cleaning spray first to clean the metal first before using this polish. It is a great product and I am happy with the results. I used this polish to clean up chromed metal parts like the air cleaner and other parts on a classic car engine.

The best! My beautiful polished nickel knobs turned color because of tarnish. It’s been several years. I read about this product on Google. They look new again. Only took a minute or less. Dissolved tarnish instantly. I treated the knobs on the right. Magical!

Flitz Multi-Purpose Metal Polish Paste did an amazing job removing scatches from our stainless steel kitchen sink! I would recommend wearing a mask when using this product because of the fumes that were released as the cleaner reacted to the stainless steel surface. I would certainly wear one the next time because I had some unpleasant side effects which could have been prevented. The Flitz metal polish removed the scratches from our kitchen sink fast and effectively! The sink looks clear where it once was scratched so I would highly recommend this metal polish for stainless steel surfaces. A small dab goes a long way so I have an entire tube left if any touch ups are required in the future.
