Product Spotlight: 3D Metal Polish

Oxidation is inevitable. 

It creeps into polished aluminum, chrome, and stainless surfaces alike, dulling the finish until what once gleamed now looks tired. The goal isn’t just to clean metal. It’s to restore it without cutting away its brilliance.

That is where 3D Metal Polish stands apart.

Unlike most metal polishes that attack oxidation with harsh solvents, ammonia, or cheap abrasives, 3D Metal Polish was engineered from the ground up to do one thing better: restore a flawless mirror finish without leaving its own scratches behind.

Advanced Chemistry, Built For Modern Vehicles

Most metal polishes rely on formulas that have barely changed in decades. They work by chemically burning off oxidation or by scouring the surface with coarse abrasives. The result is a shiny surface that often hides microscopic scratches and dulling left behind by the process itself.

3D took a different approach. 

The company’s chemists developed a proprietary blend of mild chemical cleaners and precision-milled abrasives that lift oxidation gently without biting into the surface. The result is a liquid metal polish that cleans, refines, and enhances in a single step. There are no foul odors, no streaks, and no micro-marring.

Clean science that actually gets results - that’s the 3D Car Care way. 

Brilliance on Any Metal Surface

3D Metal Polish is safe and effective on virtually all uncoated metals, including:
  • Aluminum
  • Gold
  • Brass
  • Silver
  • Copper
  • Magnesium
  • Stainless and diamond plate
  • All types of uncoated wheels and trim
From vintage carburetors to jewelry, it restores a crisp, reflective shine that looks freshly plated. It is even gentle enough to use as an ultra-fine finishing polish on delicate metals, such as gold or silver.

Precision You Can Control

The hybrid composition allows detailers to control the cut based on technique and tool choice. 

Apply by hand for softer metals or use an orbital or rotary polisher for faster correction on heavily oxidized surfaces. Either way, 3D Metal Polish leaves behind a deep, reflective luster with no haze or residue.

Because it contains no ammonia, harsh solvents, or caustic compounds, it is safer for you, your workspace, and the environment. It is Prop 65 and V.O.C. compliant and proudly part of 3D’s Green Technology line.

The Smart Way to Restore Metal

Polishing metal is both art and science. 

3D Metal Polish removes oxidation without creating new defects, producing a level of clarity and depth that older formulas cannot match.

If you want to restore shine without the mess, odor, or risk of scratching, trust the chemistry that defines the 3D name. 3D Metal Polish delivers a cleaner process, a brighter finish, and a surface that looks better than new.

3D on the outside means you can trust the science inside.

3D Metal Polish FAQs

Can I use it by hand or machine?

Many users of the GLW Series SiO2 Ceramic Detailer have praised its ease of use and impressive results.Both. Apply by hand for delicate metals or use a dual-action or rotary polisher for faster correction on heavily oxidized surfaces. The hybrid formula lets you control the level of cut and finish.

Is it safe for coated or plated metals?

Use 3D Metal Polish only on bare, uncoated metals. For chrome-plated or clear-coated metals, test a small area first or use a dedicated cleaner designed for coated surfaces.

Will it remove deep scratches or pitting?

It removes surface oxidation and fine blemishes, but deep pitting or gouges in the metal will require sanding or refinishing.

Is it environmentally friendly?

Yes. 3D Metal Polish is part of 3D’s Green Technology line. It is Prop 65 and V.O.C. compliant, making it safe for use in both home garages and professional shops.

How often should I use it?

As needed. Most metal surfaces require polishing only when oxidation reappears or the finish starts to lose clarity.
