Using Autosol polish to clean & brighten brushed chrome
In this post a collectible brushed chrome Zippo tape measure is cleaned and restored using Autosol Metal Polish. This tape measure is of the type used as a promotional give away and is marked MARLAND. Over time it had become quite spotted & tarnished. It seemed a good project to see what a little Autosol metal polish could do to improve its looks.

Materials Used:
* Autosol® Metal Polish in a 75 ml tube (3.33 ounces) tube
* Microfiber cloth
Instructions and Application :
1. Apply a small amount of Autosol onto your finger tip and spread it thinly on the face of the Zippo. Just a small amount of polish is needed. Cover the entire surface and let it sit there and work for a minute.
2. Then using fairly light pressure rub the polish in the direction of the grain.
3. Using a soft microfiber cloth wipe off the polish residue. Then repeat steps one and two on the backside of the tape measure.
4. The top and sides were not brushed but just plain chrome, so the microfiber cloth took off the finger prints and it looked like new.
5. Total elapsed time to do this was around 3 or 4 minutes.

Materials Used:
Instructions and Application :
1 Take the scissors apart for easier cleaning. Then squeeze a small amount of Wenol Metal Polish from the tube and apply a few dabs onto the scissors. Spread polish evenly with the finger tips of your nitrile gloved hand until the tool is coated completely on all surfaces. You may even want to use 0000 steel wool to help lift the stubborn stains off of the surface using the polish as a lubricant.
2. Remove all polish with a microfiber cloth or soft paper towel. Re-apply a bit more Wenol and let the polish stand for a minute or so.
3. Next wipe off the polish residue before it dries with a soft paper towel. Buff to the desired sheen with a soft micro fiber cloth for best results. Time elapsed to shine this set of scissors was about 10 minutes.
