</ul>
<p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Application:</strong></span></p>
<p>1. Apply a small amount of Simichrome polish about the size of a dime and spread  it evenly over the entire outside surface of the Schlage lock .</p>
<p>2. Let the polish stay on the lock for a few minutes.</p>
<p>3. Take a pad of 0000 steel wool (the finest grade) and unroll a 2 to 3 inch piece and tear off.</p>
<p>4. Gently rub the polish in a small circular motion on the face of the lock where the key hole is.</p>
<p>5. Using the same steel wool gently rub the Simicrome around the bell knob and back escutcheon plate.</p>
<p>6.  Wipe off excess polish with a paper towel.</p>
<p>7. Apply a dime size dab of Simichrome polish directly on the steel wool and re-polish the entire lock.</p>
<p>8. Take a clean paper towel &amp; remove  the remaining polish flipping the paper towel frequently.</p>
<p>9. Buff the lockset with a microfiber cloth to a high shine mirror finish. Simichrome will leave a film on the lock that is not greasy. This retards corrosion and tarnish so your lock will look better longer. Elapsed time to shine lock set was under 15 minutes.<strong></strong></p>

It does not attract dust, will not wash off in the rain and protects against fingerprints and acid rain.&#8221;</span></td>
