Materials Used:

• Simichrome Polish in a 1.76 ounce tube
  
• Microfiber cloth
• Nitrile Gloves
• Paper towels

Application:

1. Apply a small amount of Simichrome polish about the size of a pencil eraser in a couple of  places on the wrench surface. Spread the polish out evenly and rub it on with the finger tips of your nitrile gloved hand in small circular motions.

2. With a soft paper towel rub the polish and remove excess, flipping the paper towel to clean areas to remove tarnish. When you see the black corrosion lifting off the wrench onto the paper towel, you will be glad you used the nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean.

3. Repeat steps one and two until you are satisfied that the chrome dullnessis gone and the shine is beginning to be restored. Then repeat the process on the other side of the wrench.

4. Next buff with a microfiber cloth to a shine. Simichrome will leave a film on the wrench that is not greasy. This retards corrosion and tarnish so your looks better longer. Also if you do get any grease or oil on it in the future, a microfiber cloth will will wipe the wrench clean far easier than before. Elapsed time to shine this wrench was well under 4 minutes.

“The most often used polishes for stainless guns are:

Simichrome polish:

This is available MANY places, online and locally.

Flitz. Usually more often recommended then Simichrome due to it’s finer abrasive:
http://www.flitz-polish.com/?leadsource=PS114&s_kwcid=flitz%20polish|102578539 9&gclid=CN-onMmaypICFSXNIgod5x-9YQ
Again, available MANY places online and local.

Mother’s Mag. Available in most automotive and motorcycle shops and often at Wal-Mart.
This is one of the most often recommended.

MAAS:
Online and locally.

Truth is most any good grade metal polish recommended for stainless will do.
Just be careful not to over do it, since this will make the metal too shiny.
If what you want is a bright polish job, get the Mother’s Mag.

When using ANY metal polish on guns with finishes other than stainless steel, be careful. ALL metal polishes are abrasive, no matter WHAT they may say.
Use too often or too hard, and these will all strip bluing and other gun finishes off.
While they will also polish plastic, you may not want a shiny, slick polymer frame.

So, for a bright, high mirror-like shine, use Mother’s Mag, for ordinary use, Flitz is milder.

” I have been using Simichrome for over 30 years to polish the natural aluminum and chrome components on my bicycles. Most of them are now considered collector’s items, but when I was racing the 1970’s almost all bicycles had many parts such as hubs, rims, and seat posts that required polishing to look nice. I’ ll attach a photo that gives you an idea of how I use this excellent product.”

“Attached is the picture of our polishing of church items by the ladies of the Altar Guild of St. John Lutheran Church.  We used the semi-chrome polish and everyone was quite impressed.  As you can see the picture glows.  We had used semi-chrome polish many years ago, but got away from it for a few years.  I finally convinced them this did a much better job, so now we get together about twice each year, the Altar Guild Ladies along with the 4 deacons, and have a great time for an hour or so to polish everything.  Of course the candelabra are done oftener, as sometimes the wax drips and needs extra cleaning, along with the candle savers. We are a country church between Ft. Wayne & Decatur Indiana.  Our congregation is over 165 years old and the present church building is approximately 130 years old.  In 1995 we added a parish hall, (where we did our polishing), and enjoy it for meetings, Bible Classes, and a Ladies Group that does quilting, which was organized over 100 years ago. I goggled semi-chrome polish, that is how I found your site and found it to be the cheapest and easiest to order from.  I have  used your site several times, finding it very informative with great service.  Orders are sent promptly and easy to track as to when they will arrive.  Thanks for the good service.”

I would say that is a pretty good endorsement for Happich Simichrome polish.
