Which product is used to polish metal?

• A. Metal polish
• B. Emery cloth
• C. Wet and dry paper
• D. Twist drill bit

Answer: (A)

Finishing a metal surface to a shiny, smooth finish is what this item is testing. Metal polish is the product designed for that job because it contains fine abrasives and lubricants that help remove micro scratches and oxidation and then leave a bright polish when buffed. Emery cloth is an abrasive cloth used to smooth rough areas, but it is coarser and not intended to produce a high shine; it can scratch and dull if used for finishing. Wet and dry paper is used to smooth and prepare surfaces by removing material in steps, not to create a final glossy finish. A twist drill bit is a cutting tool for making holes, not for finishing surfaces. So metal polish best achieves the shiny finish.
