For
metal care, WIZARDS offers two different types of metal polishes,
a metal sealer and metal buff kit.
I’ll
explain the most popular first. And that’s the cotton cloth METAL
POLISH. It comes in a treated cotton coil about four feet long.
It is sold by weight at 3.3 oz. In comparison, other cotton polishes
have 3 oz, or less per package. The special metal polish is impregnated
into a surgical grade cloth, rolled into a coil, and heat-sealed
into a special bag. We package it in a sturdy metal tin for easy
storage.
To
open the package you always want to cut it open at the top. That
way you can roll the bag up and return it to metal tin. That way
it won’t dry out.
What do you mean dry out? Is it going to dry out once it’s open?
Not
if you keep it in its original package. In cases where the bag is
left open for several days or left in the sun with the bag open,
it will start to dry out. Once it’s dry, it’s not going to work
very well.
If
it dries out you can bring it back to life by adding just a few
drops of mineral spirits. It will still work better than most polishes,
however it’s not as good as it could be. Most people will dump way
too much mineral spirits into the bag and it will be way too diluted
to work properly.
The
best thing is to follow directions and don’t leave it out of the
bag. I’ve had an opened package in the warehouse for about five
or six years. I use it occasionally and keep it as a test. I’ve
always; just folded the bag and put it back in the tin, and it works
like new.
So, you’ve got the package open, what is the best way to use the polish?
Simply tear off a piece about two inches, rub it into the metal you
want to polish, take a cloth and wipe off the majority of the residue.
Then turn the cloth or use a clean cloth, and buff it to a gloss.
Wow, it takes the paint right off the soda can, would that damage the
paint on my car?
Not at all; first of all the color on a soda can isn’t paint, it
is an ink process that isn’t nearly as thick as paint on a car.
And even if you polished really hard on your paint, all it would
do is act like a mild rubbing compound. It certainly wouldn’t take
the paint off unless it was dangerously thin in the first place,
which isn’t very likely.
The WIZARDS METAL POLISH will give you the fastest cut and brightest
shine possible. There are a lot of different types of polishes out
there; some cut fast but don’t shine. Others will shine great but
you have to use something to make it cut first.
Is it just for aluminum, or will it work to polish other metals as
well?
The METAL POLISH is excellent on aluminum, chrome, stainless, brass,
copper, nickel, pewter, silver, gold; basically on any type of metal
that can be polished you can use WIZARDS.
If you can’t shine it with WIZARDS METAL POLISH, it can’t
be polished, or you’re not doing it right.
Just what do you mean, not doing it right? How can you do it wrong?
It is a polish, so you have to rub it in if you want the best results.
If you don’t apply yourself in the process then you won’t get the
results. Also, many times people will not get the best shine because
they don’t buff it enough with the dry cloth. You really have to
get the “wet” residue off and buff it with a clean, dry cloth.
Like with all the products, you just have to follow the directions.
And if you do so, then you will get the best possible results.
Now, you said that you can polish any kind of metal; is there anything
that you shouldn’t try and polish with the WIZARDS cloth?
Before
any application it’s a good idea to think about what you want to
do. For example: if you have a brand new piece of chrome, chances
are the chrome doesn’t need any polishing. If the chrome has some
fading or oxidation from storage; then metal polish makes sense.
If the piece is like new then you can use the MIST-N-SHINE.
Some
items should never be polished with our metal polish, or any type
of polish for that matter. They would include: costume jewelry,
(the cheap stuff) thinly plated silver or gold, like some household
trinkets, and expensive show chrome. Another item to avoid would
be gold plated wheels. There again, whenever in doubt, test it first
in a small area.
