TOOLS
Start with an chrome piece that could use a little lovin'. This is a perpetual rotary desk flip calendar from the 50's or 60's.
Remove any excess dirt or crud from the piece. I had remnants of a price sticker that I scraped off with my nail and followed up with some goo gone.
Dab a small amount of your Mother's Mag & Alumninum polish on your rag/cloth.
In small circular motions, apply the polish. I find it easier to do small sections at a time.
Wipe excess polish off with a clean section of your rag/cloth to reveal a beautiful finish. Continue to do these steps until the entire piece is complete.
Voila! Admire your finished piece. Visit my site for more cool finds like this: www.beholden.me
