This Taiwan clock and barometer set was on my trawler when I purchased it. Will these things ever look good again, and if so, what should I try to polish them with?
...the lacquer must be removed in order to clean and polish these. You'll almost certainly have to remove the coating chemically, with lacquer thinner or mineral spirits. It will be time consuming and a bit nasty. Once that's done I'd polish with Never Dull, and then spray with CRC Clear Urethane Seal Coat.
We've started using Flitz as a metsl cleaner. Pretty impressive stuff.
Thanks. I have only seen it at marine stores and you know how those prices are. I bought some a while back but I've used it all and can't remember how it compared to Turtlewax and Mothers, etc. I have no brass to polish, only stainless steel.Cost? It doesn't seem to cost any more than most other decent metal polishes. And it does a far superior job in our opinions, getting stains off of stainless railings and our radar mount, for example, that everything else we tried didn't have any effect on. We buy it at a local auto store, BTW.
