The tutorial includes a detailed work instructions and best practices.

Materials Used:


Instructions and Application :

2. Rub the polish on evenly over the brass surface you wish to polish and let sit for a couple of minutes.

3. Take a micro fiber cloth and rub off the Simichrome briskly. Flip the cloth to a clean spot and buff to the desired sheen.

4. Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the locks escutcheon back plate. If desired you may tape off the lock set’s brass trim plate with low tack painters tape to help keep the pre-finished door styles clean on the patio door.

4. The Simichrome polish leaves a thin film that will help protect the brass lock set from corrosion for months.

Polish Guy Tip Polish Guy Tip : “For regular maintenance, periodically wipe down the lock set with a microfiber cloth. It is also great for taking off fingerprints and grime. Microfiber cloths polish surfaces streak free and lint free too.“
