Still useful after 6 years, thank you so much Buddy
I couldn't believe it ! I went down to the basement where is the bike frame i'm working on. Applied toothpaste and... it works ! This is incredible. I thought I had no choice but have it sent powder coated but no !! unbelievable, it's all shiny now !!
Or, you could have bought actual polish and still save money on the powder coating??
Ahhh but if I run out of tooth paste can I use Flitz! 😁
LOL... uhmm.. im gonna go with no =)
Hell yeah! My teeth look like chrome!
That's what I've been doing all my life
I've ran out of flitz too;(
Thanks for the useful tip. Tried it on a stainless steel blade that had a dull look and it polished up nicely. More importantly, I tried it on a couple of carbon steel folders, which I never use on food, but which develop patina spots, nonetheless, and they also got a nice shine. Really cool; thank you. 👍😏
After trial and error for 5 of the "best" toothpastes with not even a hint of change, and seeing you NOT use the toothpaste, it's hard to not feel scammed
I used Arm & Hammer toothpaste on my stainless steel watch and it works just as well sure it's not as shiny like it was originally but the steel matte finish it has now doesn't bother me as much as having scratches all over the thing.
Toothpaste also is great for restoring headlights. Gets all the I guess you can say "oxidation" off and you can always get a trial size tube for like $1.00 at any grocery store. I love the Arm & Hammer. It's cheap and works well
+M Davis good tip!
M Davis nope off works better I used it on my old headlights before I wet sanded and buffed them. Then I did both of my friends car's using only off
So does insect repellant with deet. Just be sure to "work wet" and polish before it dries. It slightly liquifies the surface of plastics. Good for buffing off oxidation, or scratches without going through grits.
toothpaste works on cleaning mirrors as well
Good for buffing plastics as well.
also PS2 CDs
@@lyes6033 lolollloolololloololol
That worked better than I expected it would. Thanks Ray.
Proper polish works better but yeah the tooth paste is surprisingly effective.
I use it for polishing plastic headlight covers that have Yellowed from UV exposure over time. Works a treat.
Ive heard of that but never tried it. Glad to know it actually works!
What do you use to seal it after
@@ras4782 Any U/V stabilised paint sealant. I use one that was supplied with a Mercedes kit
I have a stainless steel Gothic cross I sand with a Scotbrite and the polish with toothpaste. Thanks for the tip.
Interesting tip, thanks for sharing! 🤓
Thanks for watching!
Ok so I watched this and decided to give it a try OMG it's works better than rubbing compound (just used that last night)
This 100% works, good video
Thanks it works
Can I use on my distiller? It's been used for 2 years 4 times a day! Any reply appreciated 🙂👍👍👍👍
I have some key rings that deteriorared over time and have a ruff touch,not a soft one. Can toothpaste help?
Good tip. If you want to take really small hairline scratches on a stainless steel fridge which one would you use. Just small scratches made by a dirty microfiber towel. Thank you
Can i use toothpaste to polish my clear coat on my bike frame?
That bike chain balisong awl looks wicked sick.
Well, I know I'll have to do in my house, when the toothpaste is finished. "Sandpaper in the bathroom" Lol. Seriously excellent video, I knew that someone used to Cdrom's scratched. Nice trick, Thanks for sharing.
haha, yeah works great on plastics, not sure how your dentist will feel about the sandpaper though =)
Thank you you save my 400 pound purge mod after I tried anything and make it worse many thanks again and again
is there a specific towel that u use, or can I use paper towels? PS subscribed
Skyler Taunt I use a microfiber cloth (the cheap harbor freight ones) you can use anything but paper towels being paper will also be mildly abrasive and might not do quite as well but still should be good enough. im told the good abrasive tooth paste is getting harder to find though
Needed to shine a saber scabbard for my commander, hopefully this will work
Christian Turner well it work on your commander?
هل استطيع استعماله في تنظيف جهازي 12 برو على الإطار الستانلس ستيل؟ ارجو الرد
Awesome !!!
Tnx for the info 👍
sorry a bit late so tartar control works as well right
Green wax sticks like these are usually chromium oxide, not aluminum.
Thanks a lot
Could toothpaste be used to sharpen my "electric razor head blades"? Theres a video showing when putting a dab of metal polisher on a small mirror, you can swirl around a razor head to sharpen it a little.
What about polishing freshly sugar blasted aluminum cookware? I can't find ANYTHING on this.
Not familiar with it but no harm in trying I suppose
Hmmm and what about (( slightly oxidized aluminum )) thanks
Will this work on anodized itanium?
I have a manual to my electic toothbrush that instructed me to brush upper inside / upper outside/ lower inside / lower outside 30 sec each morning and night. After ten years I have brushed my teeth 120hours straight!!!
Would someone make some serious $$$ if I have holes in my teeth because I've polished the enamel off my teeth or why do they recommend this?
Well the toothpaste is pretty diluted in your mouth during brushing and you shouldnt be using the kind of pressure you would for polishing. The enamel on your teeth his pretty tough stuff, plus most of the tooth pastes are on the low to medium Rda side anyway.
To eventually screw you out of your savings when you finally have to face the Dentist.
If you don't like it don't use it, there is always Dawn, Baking Soda, MEK or my favorite, Acetone.
Lol I was just thinking to do it yesterday but I think I gotta check it hmmm guess get some sleep n get ready to go
UPDATE: As of 2019-04-14, no toothpaste sold by Colgate in the US contains aluminum oxide.
Shiba Burn maybe... this video came out years ago. I still have that tube of toothpaste as I use it exclusively for polishing and it definitely has aluminum oxide in the ingredients. Aluminum oxide or not many of them will still have abrasive properties and loads of other in the comments have confirmed it working just fine for them.
Does it work on brass taps?
Will TP work on steel?
What happens if i put some little abrasive baking soda with toothpaste
Would this process work for polishing gun barrels and slides?
um im not a professional at gun smithing or care but i think its better to use gun oil that has a 100% guarantee of working rather than hoping a tube of toothpaste will remember your putting your life at risk if you use the toothpaste
Great tip. I'll have to remember that one the next time I need to polish something.
Thanks!
This I a dumb question but, is it disinfectant? I am polishing my trumpet mouthpiece
i don't think there is anything in toothpaste that would act as a disinfectant, though it would be easy to disinfect after the fact.
Martin Anthonyo I believe flouride is a disinfectant and is found in toothpaste.
Better than 5 minutes craft lol
Interesting
can you polish carbon steel with toothpastecheers
Yes depending on temper.
TabLeft Workshop what about swords? (My one is a blunt training sword made by Regenyei if it matters)
How about my balisong?
Scary shit!!! D:
Whoa sensodyne is so expensive here compared to the run of the mill stuff. 🤔
Is the toothpaste more gentle?
rap lopez well yes but also less effective. If you have polish it’s best to use that, the tip is more as a last resort if you don’t have polish available
minty fresh! :-)
I was going to make a video similar to this one , but then I took this video to the eyes! (Skyrim reference)
haha thanks
I made one just like this one too, I posted it.
Would toothpaste work on a bicycle frame?
Yes, it would. Give it a try! :)
No. Toothpastes in the US don't have aluminum oxide in them anymore.
Can I use toothpaste to polish my pins?
Harry James Montible whos gonna look at it

How to mirror polish silver necklace without power tools
I use pure silver wire to make jewelry which often tarnishes to a very dark finish. I soak the wire in boiling water and baking soda with a good sized piece of aluminum foil. This will remove the majority of the tarnish. After that a light buffing with a mild abrasive paste like flitz or some tooth pastes as shown in the video will shine in to a high gloss mirror finish. If the diy approach isn’t for you you can purchase chemical cleaners that work very well online.
Thanks, i used to do this too it removes the tarnishing well but i never knew the second method which can give shine to the jewelry, did you mean i should brush it with toothpaste or flitz
should never wash off with water
Thootpaste scratches your stainless steel
whts is it a green
Affandi Hakimin polishing compound
would this work with a car scratch?
j depends on if it's thru the clear if you spray it with water and it's still there no but if it disappears then it may
No. Go watch chrisfix
Well! thats nice!
Yeah i wont be throwing out my Flitz but it works great in a pinch
You should do a non scientific side by side comparison with the different results.
Yeah I thought about it, but it wouldn't be a fair comparison unless I could find the approximate Rda of the polishing compound and get the matching grit toothpaste. For what it's worth I did do the comparison off camera and the flitz did do a better job but not amazingly so. I'll publish it on patreon if you like.
This makes me worried about my teeth…
You didn't show the toothpaste
Who else is using this for their beyblades
This makes me scared to use toothpaste
Sorry, but I think your video is very misleading. On stainless steel, I've tested 6 toothpastes and not found any detectable abrasive activity. What I think might be happening on aluminum is that the toothpaste is dislodging some aluminum oxide particles on the surface, which is going on to act as the abrasive. Also I'm not aware of any toothpaste that has aluminum oxide in it. Link to a MSDS please?
It’s listed right on the ingredients list of my Colgate I just checked. I also supplied a link in the description to a dental article that provides detailed info on how abrasive many common brands are.

@@TabLeft Interesting that the formulation had aluminum oxide before, but now doesn't. I haven't been able to find any brands that have it currently. Here's a link to the current version of Colgate Baking Soda and Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste: www.colgate.com/en-us/products/toothpaste/cb-whitening-bubbles-brisk-mint
So is a "Carborundum Plus Ultimate Cubic Boron Nitride Diamond Dust Health Benefit Healthy Aluminium Oxide Fine Micronized Smoker Black Stains Immediate Control Best Buy Toothpaste" the right kind that may polish well? 😂
This works for chrome too?
Matt Holt never tried but I imagine so
@@TabLeft I'll give it a shot one day. Have you tried to remove rust with toothpaste?
Bruhhhh
It also means toothpaste is poison.
But yeah have used it before for polish.
you're not supposed to eat it.
Travis In Canada how am i alive then i used to eat toothpaste like it was candy
Mattyc1234567 It doesn't mean you will die if you eat it, but it should be avoided
Brasiel ohhh well ima go get some more toothpaste
Travis In Canada It just means it has tiny abrasive particles in it. Not exactly breaking news..
That's not metal that's aluminium
You really should delete this video. Aluminum oxide was phased out of toothpastes several years ago, and commonly available toothpastes are no longer effective as polishes. I made a video on the subject.
