Brass Restorer

BRASS RESTORER

FT00095

Apply liberally with a brush and leave until the tarnish is removed.

COATS

One coat should be sufficient. Small items may be dipped.

CLEAN-UP

Polishing Paste

POLISHING PASTE

FT01000

FOR USE ON

Chrome, castings, fine metals, plastics including acrylic sheet and Plexiglas.

SPECIAL FEATURES

The paste will create a high-sheen polishing on chrome, gold, silver and lessen/remove scratches from plastic parts. Perfect for preparing surfaces for painting or smoothing down bumps or uneven surfaces.

PREPARATION

It is meant for final polishing prior to painting. Major flaws should be smoothed down with 1,000 grit or higher finishing abrasives first.

APPLICATION

Clean the surface and apply a little polishing paste. Using a soft, clean lint-free or microfibre cloth, polish the scratched areas using heavy pressure for 2-3 minutes.

For deeper scratches repeat application several times. Remove residue with a cloth.
