I only use the flitz polish about every 3-5 years on blued finishes. I then apply a thin coat of "meguire's liquid clear-coat carnuba" & let it dry to a haze, then buff with cotton towel. On top of that goes the "meg ultimate detail spray". For the next few years, the detail spray is really all that is necessary to maintain that "spit shine finish" on my firearms.

I have been using flitz metal paste since the mid 1970's & was totally unaware it was abrasive. What about maas, simichrome, wenol, or any of the other metal products---are they abrasive also ?????

Thanks guru1911
