Autosol metal Polish is pretty good from Canadian tire but not every store sells it. If they don't have it mothers metal polish works ok too

I use a bit of toothpaste and a dremel on low speed.  works great for silver and brass. silver especially. It's wont stink up your house either.

nail polish remover and oven cleaner also work on removing colors..... most of the blue fox bodies can be stripped and polished quickly.  especially since popular colours sell out fast in most shops here.

anything aluminum thats adonized can be removed with a soak in over cleaner for a few minutes.



also x2 on ambassadors comments.... I used the wifes pink fancy nail polish on some crocs and they worked great...
