CLEANING METAL FINISHES
Caution: In polishing or cleaning metals, always follow the polish manufacturer's recommended instructions for
safety and use, and carefully review all Material Safety Data Sheets applicable to such products. Special precau-
tions must be taken with certain cleaners and polishing agents in order to avoid personal injury due to exposure
to such products.
Mirror polished stainless steel finishes should be cleaned with a concentrated foam spray cleaner (such as Sprayway,
or a similar product) and wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Such foam cleaners can be used as often as necessary. Liquid
solutions may cloud or scratch polished stainless steel finishes.
GENERAL INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS
Stainless Steel is a common chromium/nickel alloy steel used in thousands of products from ocean-going craft to
tableware. A protective chromium oxide film forms on its surface which gives stainless its superior corrosion -resistant
property. When properly maintained, stainless provides excellent luster, strength and durability. And, in most ap-
plications, stainless will not rust or stain even after many years of service. However, Stainless Steel is NOT stain or
rust proof. Atmospheric conditions, environmental pollution, or even close proximity to a body of water can all be con-
tributing factors to corrosion. Stainless will also discolor, rust or corrode if used in contact with chloride salts, sulfides
or other rusting metals. Proper care and maintenance of stainless in marine environments, polluted surroundings,
salted highways, or other situations where stainless may be exposed to corrosive elements will help keep your stain-
less products beautiful and functional for years to come. Unfortunately, Stainless Steel does not necessarily remain
stainless without periodic maintenance. The best way to remove mild corrosion is with chrome cleaner. Apply like you
would a wax, let dry, and rub vigorously to remove spots and restore the luster. On a satin finish you can use a
Scotch-Brite pad to remove tougher spots and help restore the original sheen. To insure lasting beauty, a good quality
car wax should be applied.
CARE AND CLEANING MIRROR POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL
Mirror polished stainless steel finishes should be cleaned with a foam spray cleaner, such as: CRL Sprayway - Stain-
less Steel Polish & Cleaner SW841 cleans, polishes and protects stainless steel without hard rubbing and polishing.
Resists finger prints, grease and water splatter. Helps preserve the factory finish. and wiped with a clean, dry cloth,
such as:
CRL Lint Free Shop Wipes 1550 are made with four plies of strong, white paper and reinforced in both directions with
an extra ply of tough nylon. These rugged towels will stand up to the most demanding shop work. 1550 wipes can ab-
sorb many times their weight in liquids. CRL Glass Wipes are virtually lint free. Such foam cleaners can be used as
often as necessary. Liquid solutions may cloud or scratch polished stainless steel finishes. For periodic maintenance,
mirror stainless can be polished with: CRLAutosol® Shine 11 88A cleans, restores and polishes all metal surfaces
and will protect against corrosion and tarnishing. Mild abrasives help to remove built-up tarnish, oxidation and even
rust, leaving behind a protective coating, which helps to condition the metal and protect against corrosion while provid-
ing a longer lasting shine Do not use circular motions when polishing.
