ROHL Faucet Finish Homeowner’s Guide to Care and Maintenance
Quite often, we are asked about polishes we might recommend for different metal finishes for Rohl faucets. Rohl recommends three different polishes as of this post date of 10/16/2010. If you would like to download a copy of their brochure titled “The Homeowner’s Guide to Care and Maintenance for your ROHL Finish”. Click here. Below is an excerpt of their recommendations.
POLISHED CHROME — Time-tested Polished Chrome
is the hardiest of all our finishes. Rubbing and
polishing will rejuvenate the finish. Recommended
cleaning agents include Flitz Polish, Gagnon’s SX
and Simichrome.
POLISHED NICKEL — Use Gagnon’s SX or
Simichrome to polish and protect this finish. We
suggest periodically using Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Wax to
avoid spotting.
INCA BRASS — Use Gagnon’s SX to polish and
protect the finish.We do not recommend the use of
any other polish or wax on this finish.
SATIN NICKEL — This finish is achieved through a
meticulous process that produces an evenly worn
look. Use Gagnon’s SX to polish and protect. Apply
Flitz Wax or Bruno’s Wax to avoid spotting.
TUSCAN BRASS — Unlike any other ROHL finish,
Tuscan Brass is a living finish—it will lighten over time
as it is used. To maintain the original dark patina
color longer, we suggest a light coat of Flitz Wax or
Bruno’s Wax be applied regularly. To apply, pat the
wax on then off again with a soft cloth.DO NOT RUB.
No warranty is offered on the Tuscan Brass finish.
ENGLISH BRONZE — Available exclusively on Perrin
& Rowe® faucets from ROHL, this finish is easily
maintained by periodically using Gagnon’s SX to
clean and Flitz Wax to protect the finish.
ANTICO BRASS — This unique finish is protected by
a clear coat which is easily rejuvenated with
Gagnon’s SX polish.We also suggest using Flitz Wax
or Bruno’s Wax regularly to avoid spotting.

Removing marks from our Step2 Lifestyles Kitchen
Need help removing markers from a Step2 Lifestyles Kitchen? Try Flitz polish. This kitchen was in great condition that we purchased at a local tag sale for our granddaughter. I did notice a number of different colored lines on the refrigerator door that I thought were probably made from a washable kids marker. WRONG ! They were a more permanent type marker that would not wash off with soap & water. I even tried some paint thinner. Fortunately I had some Flitz polish around and in reading the label noticed that it claimed to take off graffiti and dyes. Check out the pictures below to see the reuslts. FLITZ to the rescue again!

Materials Used:
- Flitz Polish 1.76 ounce tube
- Micro Fiber Cloth
- Optional paper towel or small soft rag
Instructions and Application :
1. Right out of the tube place a small dab of Flitz on to a soft cloth. I used a micro fiber cloth.
2. Apply the Flitz with light pressure in the direction of the marker lines. I reapplied more polish in a few stubborn areas until the marker was gone.
3. I then turned the cloth to a clean spot and buffed off the remaining Flitz polish from the door.
4. The last thing was to wash the door of the refrigerator with warm soapy water and rinse before letting it be played with. Good as new.

Polish Guy Tip : ” We used Flitz polish paste in a tube, but liquid Flitz polish would give you the same good results. Flitz polish has a USDA label so I felt it was safe to use in this application, but you should wash and rinse any remaining polish residue from the surface before letting your child play with it.” |
Cleaning Horstmann Brass & Copper Uniform Buttons with Flitz Polish
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 !

Materials Used:
- Flitz Polish 1.76 ounce tube
- Micro Fiber Cloth
- Pair of nitrile gloves
- Paper towel or small soft rag
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.
4. If you would like a sharper brighter shine, just repeat the above steps until you get the shine you desire.

Polish Guy Tip : “When polishing old brass & copper buttons, using nitrile gloves helps to not only keep your hands clean but also enables you to spread the polish economically so you don’t waste any.” |
