Budget ......................................$21,320 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 ta- bleware. 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 applica- tions, 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 contrib- uting 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 stainless products beautiful and functional for years to come. Unfortunately, Stainless Steel does not necessarily remain stain- less 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.

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: CRL Autosol® 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.
