I haven't seen this asked or really answered but do you still polish your FTE/NPA axles? I many not have searched well enough but figured I would ask anyways. Thx in advance...

Personally, I dont. I have once or twice and noticed no difference, plus you risk compromising the nickel plating if you polish too hard. A light polish shouldn't hurt though.

When it comes to fte's I personally don't polish the axels, usually I simply sand the wheels and add some graphite

Flitz is good stuff but pricey. $10-$12 for a small tube. Used to get a mirror finish on knife blades. You don't need a rotary tool just a soft cloth.

  • I think this might be the same polish and the Blue Magic. They look and smell the same with the same consistency. The Blue Magic is $6-7 for a tub. — johnson9195
  • Just looked up Blue Magic, that stuff looks better than Flitz for axles. Thank you. — alva1370
