Metal Polish Tips [How to Polish a Keg]

Hello everyone and many people ask us how we polished up our kegs we use in our display. The simple truth is not that we just use our polish to do it. See there is a clear coat so first you must remove this and it is not as simple as taking a steel wool pad and polish to it this clear coat is much stronger that the ones used on your wheels. So when your dealing with super strong clear coats there are a couple different ways that will save you time and will be the fastest way to do it.

Number 1: Use a sander. This will use its course textures to scratch away the clear coat.

Number 2: Spray paint thinner on the surface, let dry then remove with terry cloth towel.

Number 3: Heavy steel wool pad, Use with Sheen Genie metal polish for fastest results.

The best way to do this when your working with a keg is number 2. Once you wipe off the clear coat and paint thinner you then want to use a buffing wheel with our metal polish to drive it into the metal and all the “pores” to bring out that super high gloss.

After this step is done you want to use our sealer to enhance the gloss. See we use crystalline polymer technology and what this is is where the gloss is able to add multiple layers on gloss on top of existing layers of the gloss. This is brand new to metal polish science and is only used in the very high end car waxes on the market to provide a more of a depth finish onto the metal surface. One to two applications of sealer with a quick wipe on and wipe off technique. This will also seal in that shine so that your keg will not lose it’s gloss for at least and guaranteed 6 months.
