    Silvo

    I saw a can of Silvo metal polish and was considering using it to shine up my cat.

    Should I use this or should I use something else?

    Your cat may not wish to be shiny. They tend to have claws and can readily express their displeasure, so you may want to consider that first.

            Comedians abound.

            Is Silvo good for polishing our CARS?

              never heard of the stuff... but then I don't polish anything.

                if its metal polish, I'd only be using it on shiny bits. Read the label too. Some metal polishes are not suitable for aluminum, and most of the trim on these cars is actually aluminum.

                  Apparently it's good for gold, silver, chrome, and mirrors.

                    so bumpers and mirrors... everything else is aluminum or chrome coated plastic (grill and headlight bezels). The wheel well trim is aluminum. The mirror housings may be as well. Magnets no stick there.

                      Or maybe your magnets are broken.

                        I was thinking of waxing the car as well.

                              Before you consider waxing always clay bar if you haven never done it before.
