Uses For Flitz® Paste Metal Polish, Fiberglass & Paint Restorer

Last month we gave you some uses for Race Glaze® Polish & Sealant that may not have been obvious. This month we thought the same was in order for Flitz® Metal Polish, Fiberglass & Paint Restorer.

  • Clean up stains in your stainless steel kitchen sink.
  • Polish jewelry - solid gold, silver, platinum. Does a beautiful job. Dispense a small amount onto a clean soft cloth, and rub it into the cloth. It quickly liquefies, making it easy to polish intricate engraving, without leaving behind unsightly residue that most metal polishes do.
  • Remove permanent marker stains from hard surfaces, such as kitchen countertops, fiberglass, etc...
  • Polish out scuffs and minor abrasions in bug shields, helmet visors, and other Plexiglas surfaces.
  • Remove tar from vehicle surfaces.
  • Clean and polish golf clubs.
  • Remove unsightly hard water and limestone deposits from water fixtures.
  • Clean and polish fiberglass tub and shower surfaces.
  • Polish fishing lures and reels.
  • Polish fish-finder/depth gauge screens.
  • Polish screens of PDA's ("personal data assistants" - such as "Palm®" devices).
  • Remove heat discoloration from chrome exhaust pipes - motorcycles, trucks, etc...
  • Remove rust from chrome plated surfaces - old hub caps, mirrors, etc...
  • Clean and polish rifle and gun bores - removes powder residue.
  • Clean and protect factory "hot bluing" on rifles - no need to oil - provides protection from moisture.
  • Polish fiberglass surfaces on boats and motor homes - great at removing oxidation, and black streaks.
  • Clean & polish hardware on stoves, fireplaces, faucets, shower enclosures, doors.
