Autosol polish directions for rusty wheel rims

April 29, 2010 · Filed Under Autosol · Comment 

In this polishing tip a very rusty & tarnished car rim is cleaned and restored using Autosol Metal Polish. We picked up this discarded rim by the side of the road. It is a great example of how quick and easy you can get superior results using Autosol metal polish. Be sure to look at the before and after pictures of the rim.

Materials Used:

Instructions and Application :

1. Using a pair of nitrile gloves helps to keep your hands clean as well as being a good way to apply polish. Apply a small amount of Autosol onto your finger tip and spread it thinly on the surface of the car wheel rim. Just a small amount of polish is needed. .

2. I chose to only do about 1/2 of the rim so that you could see the dramatic difference after using Autosol polish to remove the rust and corrosion. Using light pressure rub the polish in small circular motions with either your gloved finger tip or a soft paper towel.

3. Turn the paper towel over to a clean spot and wipe off the polish residue. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 again if necessary.

4. Buff with a microfiber cloth to a nice clean bright finish.

5. Total elapsed time to do this was about 5 minutes.

Using Wenol polish to clean a stainless steel & aluminum coffee pot funnel

April 19, 2010 · Filed Under Wenol · Comment 

I picked this item for a polish demo because it is made with a combination of a stainless steel bowl and an aluminum spout. These were used on the old restaurant commercial vacuum coffee makers that I saw all over New England in diners years ago. Using Wenol Metal Polish I was able to remove stains and years of tarnish from it..

Materials Used:

Instructions and Application :

1 Squeeze a small amount of Wenol Metal Polish from the tube onto the funnel surface.   Spread polish evenly with the finger tips of your nitrile gloved hand until the funnel is coated completely  with a light even coat of polish

2. Let the polish stand for about a minute or so.

3. Wipe off the polish residue before it dries with a soft cloth. I prefer using a microfiber cloth as it picks up the polish residue easily and polishes the surface quickly with out any danger of scratching. Re-apply following steps 1 & 2 if needed. Time elapsed to shine this item was about 5 or 6 minutes.

In this polish tip, Flitz polish is used to remove years of tarnish  build up on an old W. H. Horstmann & Co brass backed copper button.  Flitz polish is a great choice if you have military, police or any type of uniform buttons to clean & polish. Look sharp…FLITZ IT !

Instructions and Application
:

1. Right out of the tube place a small dab of Flitz on to the face of the button.

2. Spread it in a light even coat with your fingertips .

3. Buff off the Flitz polish with any soft cloth. We used a microfiber cloth as it’s soft textured weave will buff the button to a nice soft shine quickly and not scratch the surface.
