Simichrome chosen by the ladies of the altar guild for polishing church items

December 5, 2009 · Filed Under Simichrome · Comment 

It is always nice to hear back from users of any metal polish to get first hand information from them. Helpful information is what brand was used, how did it work, and would you use it again. An e-mail was sent to us recently as follows……..

“Attached is the picture of our polishing of church items by the ladies of the Altar Guild of St. John Lutheran Church.  We used the semi-chrome polish and everyone was quite impressed.  As you can see the picture glows.  We had used semi-chrome polish many years ago, but got away from it for a few years.  I finally convinced them this did a much better job, so now we get together about twice each year, the Altar Guild Ladies along with the 4 deacons, and have a great time for an hour or so to polish everything.  Of course the candelabra are done oftener, as sometimes the wax drips and needs extra cleaning, along with the candle savers. We are a country church between Ft. Wayne & Decatur Indiana.  Our congregation is over 165 years old and the present church building is approximately 130 years old.  In 1995 we added a parish hall, (where we did our polishing), and enjoy it for meetings, Bible Classes, and a Ladies Group that does quilting, which was organized over 100 years ago. I goggled semi-chrome polish, that is how I found your site and found it to be the cheapest and easiest to order from.  I have  used your site several times, finding it very informative with great service.  Orders are sent promptly and easy to track as to when they will arrive.  Thanks for the good service.”

I would say that is a pretty good endorsement for Happich Simichrome polish. If you are having trouble locating Simichrome in your home town, why not buy it on line here where the Altar Guild Ladies do. You will get it quickly from a reliable source.

Instructions and Application :

1 Spread a small amount of Flitz metal polish with the finger tip of your nitrile gloved hand until the micrometer is  completely coated with a light coat of Flitz metal polish on all surfaces. Using a Horse Hair Detail Brush helps to get the polish into and out of the embossed numbers and non slip machined surfaces.

2. Let the polish stand for a couple of minutes and then gently remove any polish residue with a soft paper towel before it dries.

3.  Re-apply following steps 1 & 2 if needed. if any polish remains in the embossed numbers or machining, remove with the use of a horse hair detail brush. Buff to the desired sheen with a soft micro fiber cloth for best results.  Time elapsed to shine this machinist tool was about 5 or 6 minutes.
