Title: Flitz metal polish liquid - availability in Australia??
Post by: Pinballer on July 07, 2011, 11:38:08 AM

Does anyone know if Flitz Metal Polish in liquid form can be purchased here in Australia? If so, can you please provide me with a link or contact details of the seller?

I have not looked for quite some time. I don't think it is available locally. I usually buy a couple of Flitzs when I place an order with Marco.

It would be great if a local parts dealer would sell them.

I'm going to get a polisher soon and would like some Flitz as well.
Is there enough interest for a group buy?
Cheers
Dave

Bunnings have a far better product on their shelves - "Turtle Scratch and Swirl remover". This is FAR better than overpriced Flitz.

James Loflin from Pinball Inc bought a heap of the stuff and Greg brought it back for me to try. I've been using it for 3 years - and it is cheaper and better than anything else I've ever used.

Hi Nino,

Thanks, I'm wanting something to add to tumbler media, is this what you use the Turtle stuff for?

I don't add anything to my media and like to use the same batch in the tumbler over and over again.
I find it better to put a coat of Brasso on the items, allow to dry and then tumble
