Fixing a Scratched Video CD that will not play with Flitz
 |
|---|
Here is a rather unknown use for Flitz polish. If you have ever had a music or video CD that has such a bad scratch that it either skips or will not play at all, try this out. What the pictures show is our little ones Annie CD. It is the most loved and played in the collection. On long car trips a portable CD player is used to keep her entertained and pass the time. The problem with portable CD players of course are they get banged around a bit by a child and the result is often scratched CDs.
It is hard to get a good picture of a bad scratch on a CD, but we tried. The pictures show the scratched CD, then the CD with a few dabs of Flitz polish applied. The dabs were then rubbed in tight circular motions with a soft paper towel, as the 3rd picture shows. After that the CD was buffed with a clean microfiber towel, although most any type of soft cloth or t-shirt type material will work. We then rinsed the CD with some tap water and dried to remove any residue before playing. The last picture is of the Annie CD repaired. It works just fine and with no skips. How much Flitz polish do you need? Not much, a few dabs from a tube if you have it or even like the little foil sample pack that you find at car and motorcycle shows. They are priced out at 99 cents each, but are usually given out as samples. Grab one if you see one on your travels for just such case as above. If you want a tube or can of Flitz, CLICK HERE to buy some from our recommended supplier.
Clean & Polish a Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Gambrel
In this post we will show how to clean & polish a solid 18-8 type 304 stainless steel heavy duty gambrel spreader bar with Flitz metal polish. We found this at an old farm slaughter house. It had not been used in many years. Although it is stainless steel, that does not mean it will not tarnish. You still see these used in commercial meat packing houses and by deer hunters when they field dress or hang a deer.
#1 Start by washing the gambrel with warm soap and water for the initial cleaning.
#2 Dry with an old towel and look for any spots that will need additional cleaning.
#3 Right out of the tube, place a few pencil eraser size dabs of Flitz along the length of the ss gambrel.
#4 Use either 0000 steel wool if heavily stained or tarnished, or just an old t-shirt if not.
#5 Apply a thin even coat of polish until the gambrel is totaly covered.
$6 With another clean t shirt or soft cloth wipe & buff to a bright shine before the polish dries.
#7 Rewash the gambrel and wipe dry. It is now clean and ready to use.
See the picture below for the results. Easy to do, with an elapsed time for the whole polishing job of less than 10 minutes.

Polish Guy Tip : ” Flitz polish carries a USDA label, making it authorized to use around food handling equipment. Never the less, thoroughly wash and dry your items that are polished before you use them to remove any lingering paste residue. “ |
Unable to find Bruno’s Wax for Rohl’s Tuscan Brass Faucet
Recently we received the following comment in our e-mail box.
“I purchased Rohl’s Tuscan Brass kitchen faucet and received a sample of Bruno’s Faucet Wax which I have been using. However, I have been unable to find it in any stores; any suggestions?”
We did a little research into this. Bruno’s Faucet Wax is hard to find. It may be a private labeled product. Because of the close wording of the product name we contacted the Flitz tech rep. It is not made by Flitz, but if you do go to the Rohl’s Finishes part of their website besides Bruno’s they do recommend Flitz Faucet Wax +. That you can find and easily get from our recommended Flitz Distributor by clicking here to learn more about the complete Flitz polish product line.

Important Safety Information: According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards: Section 392.33 Obscured Lamps or Reflector reads ” Operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle with lamps/reflectors obscured carries a Violation Severity Weight of 6; this on a scale of 1 to 10. In comparison, a fifth wheel’s defective locking mechanism carries a severity weight of only 3. So, it is more important and safer to keep your headlamps clear than to keep the brakes on the fifth wheel in good operational condition according to scale.
These violations are recorded at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and a poor rating will take a carrier or driver from ” Continue to Operate ” to ” Unfit “. These violations stay on your record for 2 years and if found “unfit” the carrier or driver may not be able to continue to operate until the violations are cleared.
