Vacuum polishing

[vacuumlad1650]

So I want to take some nice pictures of my sweepers, and before that I'd like to polish them. What way is the best? Im leaning towards the Classic Marine Spit Shine, unless there is a good, cheap polish out there. i plan on polishing all my wands, metal canisters, and power-heads. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Andy

For polishing chrome Mothers mag wheel polish works good.

Where can I get that, how much does it cost, and how do i polish with it? i forgot to mention I can only use a polish applied by rags. I may have to try that Mothers polish

I've had good luck finding Mother's Mag at auto parts stores(ex. Pep Boys, Autozone). To use it, just get a rag and dip it into the polish to get a small amount of the stuff, and then rub the rag onto the metal parts in a circular motion. When the cloth turns black, switch to another part of the rag or grab another one. Repeat the process until your vacuum looks good.

I bought a can of Mother's at Walmart a few months ago. It's a soft paste that's best applied and buffed off with rags. I rub it into the metal until the rag turns black, then buff it vigorously with a clean one. The results are amazing.

Mothers also does wonders on aluminum, using a combination of fine steel wools, and finally a soft rag.
