found in local supermarkets, department and hardware stores.

All products should be used in strict accordance with

instructions on package.

NOTES:

Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job
efficiently and effectively.

2. Always rub in the direction of the polish lines for

maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring the surface.

Use only a soft cloth, sponge, fiberous brushes, plastic or
stainless steel pads for cleaning and scouring.

4. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every cleaning

operation.

Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

6. Never use common steel wood pads; these will cause

rust.
