Looking for a New Metal Polish Product?

How to Use Sheen Genie Metal Polish Products

The great thing about Sheen Genie metal polish products is it is also a cleaner. This means you don’t have to clean your metal surfaces before your polish application. However, if your item is exceptionally dirty or has been left outside, you may consider a quick simple wipe down first. Don’t worry about the temperature of the surface, the warmer the surface the quicker the polish will dry. Take your Sheen Genie metal polish and apply about a quarter-sized amount to a soft cloth. We have found terry cloth works best. Then apply to your metal surface. Let the product sit for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. You want the product to dry and not feel tacky to the touch. After you have waited for it to dry, take a clean section of the same cloth and wipe off the remaining product. Then you will follow the same process with the sealer + repellent to ensure the best results.

Classic Car Parts to Remember With Restoration

Whether you already own a classic or desire to purchase one for a project restoration, repairs and maintenance come hand in hand with owning a classic. According to the Antique Automobile Club of America, a classic automobile is defined as a vehicle that is between 25 to 50 years old. Anything over 50 years old is called an “antique”. Taking on a classic for a complete restoration project is a fun but possibly long adventure. You can break down a car into essentially three parts; body, interior, and the engine. Each section has many different parts to complete the bigger picture. All of which should be looked at to determine if anything needs to be repaired or replaced.

What Sheen Genie Metal Polish Can do For You

Get the Ultimate Shine with Sheen Genie

How Does Sheen Genie Metal Polish Work?

The biggest problem in maintaining your metals is oxidation. Oxidation is when a haze, rust, or bluing occurs to the surfaces of your metals. With other metal polish products, their solution for oxidation is to use an abrasive solution to scratch the metal surface and remove the oxidation. This will cut your metal lifespan down significantly. It also takes a lot of time and effort to get the best shine you can muster from this process. These abrasive products are also petroleum-based, which means it leaves a residue. This residue attracts dust and debris to your surface making it hard for you to have that new metal shine. No one likes to spend extra time and money on something, especially when there is an easier solution available.

When To Call Your Charlotte Plumber

There are several ways that a storm can affect your plumbing. When a storm hits, you will likely be dealing with heavy rain, which will cause the ground to soften substantially. This makes it more prone to corrosion, which can cause your pipes to shift. The extra rainwater can cause extra pressure to build up inside the pipes as well. This can cause them to crack so soil and rocks get in and cause your pipes to get blocked and backed up. Your Charlotte plumber will have the tools and know-how to get your pipes unclogged effectively and quickly. They will also be able to pinpoint the exact area of the blockage. And to detect any other issues that may be invisible to the naked eye.
