Wenol^® Metal Polishes

The Wenol® family of polishes SPI Supplies now offers the complete family of the Wenol polishes. They cover the full range, that is, a polish with some degree of abrasiveness for use on hard surfaces to one at the opposite extreme, one for use on polymer (e. g. paint, such as automotive paint) surfaces and one that is intermediate between the two. One must use care here in selecting the Wenol that is right for your application. Use of the wrong Wenol could lead to damage of a delicate surface.

Wenol® Metal Polish

This is the "original" Wenol that was developed for use on hard metal surfaces, such as stainless steel. It has outstanding properties for use on metal parts going into high and ultra high vacuum systems. The liquid carrier has good solvency and is easily removed with most hydrocarbon solvents. This is the preferred cleaner and polish for electron microscope applications. This is also the preferred Wenol for use on stainless steel whereever it is found, such as in commercial kitchens, etc.

A note of caution:

Remember that what makes it so efficaceous on a hard metal surface could make it highly destructive to a plastic surface. This form of Wenol should never be used on any plastic surface and should never be used on automotive paint.

Wenol® Unique Hard Wax Car Polish

Sometimes called "pink" Wenol, this product has been formulated to be non-abrasive and is appropriate as a polish and protectant for all automotive paint coatings. We do not recommend use of this Wenol on the polished metal or chrome coated surface; for those applications, use "blue" Wenol.
