Polishing a brass trimmed Emerson Electric Antique Trojan fan with Wenol

January 17, 2012 · Filed Under Wenol · Comment 

This is a nice little project we did at the shop recently. This was an antique 1904 era Emerson Electric Mfg Co Trojan, model 8014, four blade ceiling fan. It was in all original condition. The motor was a little noisy so we had a local electric motor shop down in Lenox Dale Massachusetts  rebuild the bearings. It now runs smooth and quiet.  At some point in time, some one had sprayed the brass trim with black  paint. So we stripped it with with Zip Strip and then set out and polished the brass back to an acceptable sheen. It is an antique so we did not want it to become too brilliant. A little Wenol did the trick and a quick buffing with a microfiber towel was all that was needed. Below are a few pictures showing before and after shots as well as a few close ups of the Wenol polish being used on the brass. Just click the photo to enlarge for a better view.

Wenol & Saran wrap used to prolong the shine on horse harnesses

September 9, 2011 · Filed Under Wenol · Comment 

We would like to share this Wenol polish users idea for keeping horse & carriage brass shiny for a longer period of time.  “I use wenol to polish brass on harnesses and carriages that is why I need the big can, we use a lot.  It is the best for cleaning badly tarnished brass.  We then wrap it with saran wrap to keep it from tarnishing until the horses use the harness or carriages.”

Restoring Vintage Cadillac Wheel Covers with Wenol Polish

May 30, 2011 · Filed Under Wenol · Comment 

In this polishing tip a Cadillac vintage  hubcap is polished to improve its appearance
using Wenol Red Metal Polish.

Materials Used:

Instructions and Application :

1. Wash & dry the wheel cover to remove any road grime & surface  dirt.  

2. Take the tube of Wenol Red metal polish and squeeze several dot size dabs
of polish about 1/2 the size of a dime around the perimeter of the wheel cover.

3. With your finger tips wipe the polish evenly over the entire hubcap in a small circular pattern. If you use gloves, you will find the polish will go on easier and you will use less. A little polish goes a long way. Most people use too much polish.

4. Use an old t-shirt with light pressure and begin to remove the polish .

5. Wipe off any excess polish left with a microfiber cloth, turning cloth over to a clean spot while buffing to the  desired sheen.

Polish Guy Tip Polish Guy Tip : ” Nitrile gloves are easy to put on, reusable & keep your hands clean. It also makes a lot of sense not to have the chemicals in any polish contact your skin, it can dry out and crack fingers & hands.”
