2. Take a microfiber cloth, or any soft lent free cloth, and rub in the polish in small circles until the entire inside of the cover is cover with a thin film of polish.

3. Turn the microfiber cloth to a clean section and buff off the Flitz polish before it dries.

4. Repeat the steps above for the outside and edges of the cover.

5. If your cover comes out as clean and clear as ours did, you are all set. If you still have a little haze, reapply the Flitz polish and buff again until you get the results you require.

Before & After:

Polish Guy Tip : “Flitz Polish does carry a USDA label. It is safe to use around food processing equipment. But use common sense and thoroughly wash items with warm soapy water and rinse before using..”

“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.

“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.

We have done a post in the past on cleaning white residue film off fire place glass. If you are interested in reading it again along with the step by step instructions as how it was done click here. In this post are included before and after pictures of the fireplace glass that was cleaned with the Flitz polish. Since the time of the post, Flitz has come out with a product called Flitz Gold Door Hearth Waxx that cleans, polishes and protects the gold trim that may be on your fireplace doors  and trim on the surround of your fireplace insert. Flitz recommends this product for items that are plated with a minimum thickness of 5 microns. In other words thinly plated items. It may be used on gold, brass,  nickel and other metal trims as well solid or plated. Any polish does remove small amounts of the finish so it is always best not to rub too hard, because over time and many many applications, the plating finish may wear through. If in doubt try it in an inconspicuous place.

If you would like to try both products, you can get a kit here that contains both the Flitz products as well as a small cleaning brush and a pair of microfiber cloths. If you would like to see reviews and the results using more Flitz products check out our other Flitz posts. Where can you find more information and buy Flitz polish?

Before and After Pictures:

” 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.”
