Happy Memorial Day weekend all.
I'm going to be polishing up some of my collection this weekend.
I currently use Groove Juice Shell Shine.
Is the Novus polish I keep hearing about all that much better?
and which one is the best for bringing an old faded drum back to life?
Appreciate the feedback.

I swear by not at Novus.
+1 on Novus...
I normally wipe down the drum with mild soap and water to remove any grime...Then I use Novus #2 first and finish off with #1 for the final polish...Works great!!
Tip - Have lots of clean, soft, lint free towels on hand...I use the blue shop towels (comes in a roll) that you can get from any hardware store...
Cheers
I use Lemon Pledge for wrapped finishes. Have for years. Make sure you use a 100% cotton cloth.

This, assuming you are talking about wrapped drums. Also, I have been using Megiuar's Plastix lately in lieu of Novus 2 (still finish off with Novus 1). Plastix does just as good of a job, is easier to work with, is cheaper and is more readily available (any auto parts store).
To remove all the surface dirt and grime at first, I just use Windex (spray the cloth, not the drums). I use a microfiber towel for applying/scrubbing and a soft, terrycloth like towel for buffing and finishing. Works great!

Yep, I was talking about wrapped drums...I guess I should have clarified that a little better...
Everyone has their own method of cleaning...Thanks for the Meguire`s tip...
Cheers
The shine level I get is showroom any one that was at drum show thought they were all re wraps. I like novus also but my secrete weapon is ah what was that hmmm. No seriously car polish
