Instructions and Application :
1. You may want to remove the adjusting knob and disassemble the caliper leg to do a thorough cleaning of your caliper. Spread a small amount of Simichrome metal polish with the finger tip of your nitrile gloved hand covering all sides of the caliper completely plus the adjusting knob.
2. Let the polish stand for a short time and then gently remove any polish residue with a soft paper towel before it dries.
3. Re-apply following steps 1 & 2 if needed. Buff to the desired sheen with a soft micro fiber cloth for best results. Time elapsed to shine this machinist tool was away less than 5 minutes.
