Dirty Deeds
The Dirty Deeds cloth is a strong and purpose made cloth that works great for Metal Polishing. It will make the job quicker over using normal rags and with a 2nd cloth for the final clean buff, makes sure you get the best possible finish. The different texture and weave is its biggest trick for polishing metals, along with being a dark grey colour, so the inevitable staining is less pronounced from both polishing and many other "dirty deeds" around the car.
It also helps to pump up AC/DC as some great motivational music while doing these jobs as well.
