Smile Better than Cerama Bryte

After reading all the post about Cerama Bryte I went out and got some after working on the pipes for very looooooooong time I was very unhappy with the way they looked. I went back into house and got my Blue Magic out of the trash can and replaced it with the Cerama Bryte. Much easier and better shine with the Blue Magic just my 2 cents.

I have to agree. I found Cerama Bryte at Home Depot for around $5.75 and I was also disappointed.

I went back to Nevr-Dull by Eagle One.

I think we may be discussing two different topics here.

Shine vs. Clean

I have not used Never Dull, but when I was searching for Cerambryte I read over the package and application. It seemed that Never Dull was for shining an already clean finish. When I read that, I decided against it, since my tips were VERY blackened, and I could not get to the factory shiny ceramic finish.

I can see how Never Dull would give a better shine... similar to a good wax job on clean paint.... but.... Will Never Dull clean the blackened stains off the finish that would otherwise require something more than soap and water?

My tips are clean, but I sure could use more shine.

Go to an Ace Hardware and get Cape Cod polishing cloths. I have tried many different things on my tips and NOTHING compares to Cape Cod cloths.

From my extensive experience polishing everything in site during Air Force basic training and tech school I can tell you that Never Dull will clean the nastiest looking, most tarnished brass, silver, or chrome that you could find.

I went to wal-mart and bought some ceramic stove cleaner. I forgot the name already, but its in a white bottle. I used an old shirt to scrub with and it ate right through 16,500 miles of dirt. it took some elbow grease, but with something with a little more grit than a soft tacky 90's sweater, I bet that grime will come off pretty easily. To top it off I shined it with never dull. Next time I think I will use Scoth brite green dish washing pads, and that ceramic stove top cleaner.

I just did mine. Cerma Brite inside took forever until I used a Scotch Brite scouring pad. Then, zing, done. You must follow up with something to polish. I use NevR Dull. They look great now, inside and out.

Cool

I spent 4 years in the Marines and did my share of shining things from belt buckels to barrles (4in ones) and everything in between. So I know what I'm doing the Blue Magic work the best and Never Dull works good also I just have nightmares when it gets in my hand. The Marines are what keeps Never Dull going. Blue Magic and an old T shirt work well,and I like the inside black.

I would imagine that ceramabryte would be useless on the inside of the tips. I guess I should clarify that I only used it only on the outside.

Super Chicken and FORDSALES-

Did you have trouble with the outside?

Thumbs up

I used it on the inside and out, and didn't have any troubles. But, like Silver 2000, my truck is fairly new and my tips weren't that dirty.
