Hazy Rim outcome

Loading...

How we doing? I used some chrome and metal polish on some rims and metal parts for my Slingerland Radio King snare. At first it turned out really nice and shiney. I put the drum on the shelf, and now have decided to start using it.

When I pulled it down I noticed it wasn't real shiney on the top rim. Thinking that it was just some dust I put it on the stand and started using it. Now, I have looked closer, and all of the metal pieces have a haze over them.

Any ideas what caused it, or how to fix it? I was thinking it was all chrome hardware, maybe it is nickel? But, would that have an effect from the polish?

Thanks,

Kevin

I was doing a little random reading on this.. (I need a lifeFalling Do) seems like most people point to wax in the polish leaving a residue that gets hazy.

Every polish maker says they can fix it for you... because they clean just a little better than the other guys do..Kleening

If your polish didn't have wax... then I'm no help.

Not a Guru... just interested..

That, is an excellent question. I have no idea if it did or not. I think it was Mother's Polish, or something close to that.

I will check it out. Thanks for the info.
