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:
- 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.

Polishing a Schiller 4 rotary valve tuba with Autosol
This comment was e-mailed to us by a man who found not only thePolishGuy.com videos informative but the products discussed helpful. He also bought the product from our recommended supplier for Autosol Metal Polish, WinterBrookFarmAntiques.com It is appreciated when you mention us and our recommended suppliers to your friends, colleagues and especially if you would give us a link back from your blog or on favorite forums.
“This is in response to your request for feedback about this product. It has amazed me to say the least. I have a very large rotary valve tuba that is normally a gorgeous nickel plated instrument. In places where I need to hold it, I noticed it started to get somewhat of a deep blackened appearance. The nickle shiny luster was fading in those areas. I tried a polishing cloth made for nickel that did not do anything for the blackened area, but did clean off the fingerprints that accumulates. I was concerned that the plating was simply wearing off in those areas of normal use. I began to search on line for more info about cleaning or polishing nickel plated metals, and google brought me to a number of websites to view, yours begin one of them. Your cleaning videos helped me to decide that it was worth trying your product and I felt confident that it would not wear off whatever plating I still had on my instrument. I have used it tonight, and at first was worried as I rubbed the polish on the tuba and saw black coming off into the rag!!After buffing it down and cleaning off the excess polish, I had the nice shiny luster again with no deep blackened area. Unfortunately it will be hard to take a photo that will show this difference because of the curves of the metal at that point and light reflections that make it hard to see the difference unless you look at it real life and move it around.”

Using Autosol to remove rust from tractor trailer exhaust stacks
Trying to clean up & remove rust stains from exhaust stacks? Recently ran across this post from the8thcivic.com website.
“My stacks on my tractor trailer had rust stains on them where condensation from the exhaust ran down the outside. I polished them yesterday with Autosol polish. Simply rub the product on the let it sit for a minute and then buff it off. Most rust should come off first try but if it doesn’t just try another application. Eventually it will all come off and stay off if you give it an a cleaning every other week with it. One tube will do your exhaust tip for a couple of years.” End of quote.
