WHEELS
For best results use Flitz Buff N Polish Ball. Apply small amount of Flitz to wheel: ( chrome, aluminum, magnesium, stainless) spread on low speed, finish with high speed. Wipe any residue with Flitz Microfiber Cloth for a smear free exceptional shine.

ALUMINUM TIP
For large aluminum surfaces Flitz may be applied with a slow speed, or random orbital buffer. Lambs wool, terry cloth, or foam pads may be used. Wipe surfaces with baking flour or cornstarch to remove black residue. To remove black residue around rivets or crevices, a solvent, such as Denatured Alcohol, may be used.
Heavily Oxidized Aluminum
To save time, an acid precleaner can be used to remove stubborn oxidation and salt water staining on aluminum. We use Eagle One Chrome & Wire CleanerTM. If you are unsure about this process call or visit www.flitzpolish.com for specific details avoid damaging surfaces.
DIAMOND PLATE ALUMINUM TIP
Use Flitz with a Buff N Polish Ball to reach all grooves and crevices. Some Diamond Plate has a clearcoat.

CLEAR COATING ON METAL
Flitz will not harm or remove clear protective coatings such as lacquer or polyurethane etc. To remove the tarnish beneath the lacquered finish, you must first strip off the lacquer coating. Use lacquers stripper or paint remover (available at your local hardware store). Aclear coating may be reapplied after polishing if desired.
POLISHING by HAND
For Brass, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum, Mag Alloys, Stainless Steel etc… Applying FLITZ with paper towel will act as a mild abrasive and help to remove heavy tarnish faster. Finish with a soft microfiber cloth.
HEADLIGHTS
Apply Flitz directly to headlight lens and run Buff N Polish Ball slow to spread the Polish out. Now increase speed fishing at high speed for an exceptionally clear finish. Note: Some headlights have a clearcoat or film over the lens. This may require wet sanding to remove the film. Use between 1500 to 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to wet sand the film off. This method may also be used to remove minor scratches or sand pitting. After sanding Polish with Flitz.

Be sure to finish with the Flitz Microfiber Cloths for an exceptionally clear view. Use Flitz Speed Waxx to maintain clarity.
FIBERGLASS & PAINTED SURFACES

To use a Flitz Buff N Polish Ball to remove oxidation and light scratches, add a small amount of Flitz directly onto the surface to be restored. Then run buffer slow at first to spread polish out. Continue to run buffer on high speed to finish. 2. a slow speed buffer (Under 1000 R.P.M.) may be used. 3. A Random Orbital buffer designed for this purpose may also be used.
