    Simichrome polish

    How to get Semichrome anymore in California? I see ebay ads for it for $15, but $200 shipping.
    Is there something readily available thats better???

    Try Never Dull.
    Assuming your using it on aluminum.

          I don't know what semirchrome is.

          Simichrome rocks.

          It's not PTSD, it's nostalgia.

            I switched from Simichrome to Blue Magic years ago as I found it to be a better product. YMMV

              works well on old surplus rifles with dark bore

              a little Simichrome polish works great on those old surplus rifles with dark bores / light pitting to smooth them out.

                I thought Simichrome was "banned" in California much like mineral spirits due to VOC legislation. I tried to order Simichrome from Amazon about a year ago and was DENIED.

                  I have used the ZEP FIVE STAR.
                  Think it is the same but comes in a much larger +6oz tube.
                  Worth looking for if you use a large amount.
                  Otherwise E-Bay the simichrome.

                    You might also try Brasso..............used to be able to find it at your local grocery store.

                      maybe get someone to bootleg it to you.

                      maybe this kind of thing will get a new breed of contraband runners like the origins of nascar.

                              Seems in cold weather folks would put some in their car's washer fluid.keeps it from freezing. But apparently pollutes.
