Simichrome Polish
Simichrome Polish


 
One of the finest all-metal paste polishes in the world. Simichrome produces a beautiful high finish with very little effort. Simply rub on with a soft cloth and rub off to obtain a brilliant luster.

A small amount of Simichrome applied to a clean felt bob will remove the smokey haze often seen after final finish to bring out the brilliance of the metal. Recommended for use after diamond compound. Removes tarnish, dirt and oils, and generally renews polished metal surfaces. It leaves a protective film which retards oxidation.

Simichrome works well on brass, bronze, chromium, aluminum and countless other similar metals. Simichrome is also used to charge dry polishing medias (such as Dri-Shine III, Walnut Shells, or crushed cob) for tumbling.

Available in 3 sizes: 50 gram Tube, a 250 gram Tin, and 1000 gram Can.

Micron Rating: The Simichrome is 8 to 10 microns


Industrial Uses:

Metalworking, plastics and other industries have known for years that Simichrome is the perfect product to polish tool and die molds, extrusion dies, precision metal products, machinery – anywhere an ultra fine final polishing is required. Metalworking industries have been using Simichrome for product finishing applications for decades. In addition to being a superior polishing product, Simichrome is also an excellent purging compound to remove residue on mold and die cavities after prolonged molding of plastic parts.

Simichrome is designed to polish without scratching any ferrous or non-ferrous metal. It yields an unequaled smooth finish and may be used with confidence when polishing even the most delicate, precision equipment and parts. Plant maintenance professionals have found it to be the perfect polish for a number of cleaning applications.

Jewellery & Home Uses:
Perfect for brass, copper, silver, gold, pewter, magnesium, aluminum ... virtually any ferrous or non-ferrous metal surface. Use it all around the home on virtually any metal surface. Tough enough to handle more durable pieces such as light fixtures, lamps, furniture hardware, appliance handles, door knobs and much, much more. Gentle enough for fine metals like tea sets, sterling silver, jewellery, coins, brass and pewter pieces...any collectible metal treasure.

This tough, yet gentle polishing paste is the brand of choice for antiques dealers and jewelers because it polishes to a fine patina and not the glare of inferior polish products. Simichrome removes tarnish and leaves a protective coating to help slow down further tarnishing.
FAQ

How does Simichrome work?


Simichrome is specially-formulated using the finest micron particle size abrasive of any polish available combined with special cleaning agents. Because the abrasive particles are so fine, Simichrome will not harm uncoated metals surfaces. Unlike chemical polishes, Simichrome will not remove a layer of the metal surface being cleaned. This is especially important on gold and silver plated metal pieces and jewelry.
How do I use Simichrome Polish?

It's easy! Apply a little Simichrome to a clean soft cloth. Rub gently in a circular motion on surface to be polished. Continue rubbing until luster begins to emerge. Wipe away the grime and polish. Buff with a clean, soft cloth and you're finished!
Will Simichrome scratch metal?

When properly applied, Simichrome will not scratch or harm uncoated metal surfaces.
Can you eat with silverware after being cleaned and polished with Simichrome?

We recommend that you first wash it with soap and water.
What metals can Simichrome be used on?

Simichrome is the perfect cleaner and polish for all ferrous and non-ferrous metals like brass, copper, chrome, pewter, stainless steel, gold, silver, sterling, platinum...virtually all uncoated metals. Do not use on painted or lacquered surfaces.
Will Simichrome prevent metals like silver or sterling from tarnishing?

After you clean and polish with Simichrome, it leaves a thin, protective coating which will help slow down further tarnishing and oxidation, but it won't prevent it completely.
Can I use Simichrome on gold or silver plated items?

Yes, but we suggest you be careful not to apply the polish with excessive pressure.
Can Simichrome be used on painted metal surfaces?

Simichrome is not recommended for use on any coated metal surface including painted or lacquered surfaces.
Can Simichrome be used on things like faucets?

Simichrome can be used on any uncoated metal surface. Many products appear to be uncoated metal, but actually have a chrome-like finish which is actually a plastic product. Things like faucets, automobile grills and wheels may not actually be chrome metal. We highly suggest you make sure you are polishing uncoated metal.
Will polishing old coins with Simichrome decrease their value?

This is a tricky question. Some coin collectors will tell you that polishing is okay; others will claim an old coin is more valuable in its actual, circulated condition. We suggest you contact a local coin dealer to get his/her opinion.

5 of 5 amazing stuff January 27, 2022
Reviewer: M.W from Barrie, ON Canada  
Use that on my sterling silver hollow ware and flatware, takes all tiny scratches out and polishes to a lustre. Unlike other stuff I tried - Simichrome takes off patina right away with no force. I just love this stuff! My plates and trays are like mirror! Will be back to get more. Store is amazing, fast shipping.

5 of 5 Amazing polish! September 11, 2015
Reviewer: Cynthia Putnam from Rosemere, QC Canada  
I bought a tube of this from a jeweler in Cape Cod after he shined up a bracelet I bought. I use it on my brass and silver items at home and can't believe how beautiful and shiny they become. It lasts a while as well. I used it on some of my jewelry as well and the results were stunning.
