Materials Used:
- Autosol® Metal Polish in a 75 ml tube (3.33 ounces) tube
- Microfiber cloth
- Nitrile Gloves
- Soft paper towel
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
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.
