Yup, Mop and Glo floor polish usually found in your Mom's pantry.

The steps here are common sense. First the surface should be clean. I used a wet rag....the WD40....then a Bleach counter top cleaner to remove the WD40 film......So basically like anything it has to be clean first.

Finally a wet rag with M&G soaked into it...then let it dry.

It is squeaky when you run your finger over it...so not like that greasy stuff the spray your motor with or Armor all.

1st pic is before.....2nd and 3rd are "After"

Hopefully it doesn't eat through the plastic like the simple green did to Andy's bell housing

Mop and Glow has a bunch of other uses.

I used Mop and Glow on my boots for inspections back in the day. You shine them up normally with regular shoe polish and then take a little Mop and Glow on a q-tip and apply it. The boots would look like you spent hours spit shining them. Marine Corps kinda got away from those stupid parade dress type inspections after the mid 90's and now everyone wears the swead brown boots so I haven't done that in quite a few years now. Cool while it lasted thou.

It's meant for use on Liniolium floors so it's not corrosive to plastic and shouldn't harm your inner fenders.

^^Good man, Will!

I discovered this when I raced Motocross in the mid 80s. We used to use it to polish up all the plastic on our bikes. Worked like a charm....

It ate away at the magnesium. It was pretty obvious, too; very surprising.

I used to use liquid floor wax on my vinyl top.
