Cleaning with Flitz

#1

Post by thefly01 »

I've heard many of you rave about this product. At this point I've been to the big hardware chains with no luck. I have one more to check and if I can't get it there I'll order on line. My question is can anyone tell me if it's hard to use? Are there any precautions to take in using it? I know many here will know :) I just don't won't to apply it and have something horrible happen :eek: Thanks in advance!

I finally found some Flitz paste at the Sportsman's Warehouse in the gun cleaning section. Looked at a lot of other stores before finally finding it, including all of the big box stores. If you have a place around sells guns and gun cleaning supplies, it's a good place to check for Flitz. It's easy to apply - dab it on and rub it off with a soft cloth. Amazing stuff!

Wal mart did have it.
It is non abrasive so you shouldn't mess anything up by using it.

Check in the automotive sections with the waxes and finishing items. It is commonly used on chrome and mags.

no precautions. It is really good for getting rid of rust on knives.

They've got it at the Ace hardware near me - you might try one of them if you haven't already.

Thanks everyone! I think I will try the Ace near me. I also hadn't thought about the different gun shops. I will certainly give it a try. Once again I appreciate it.

There's 2 guys who sell it all the time on Ebay. That's how I've got my last 2 FLITZ polishing cloths. Those polishing cloths of theirs really do a great job. Just put FLITZ in on the Ebay search engine and you'll see a lot of Flitz products.

Thanks JD and everyone else that was able to offer advice. I was able to find a local store(after a long search). It has certainly lived up to all the hype! Thanks again everyone.
