Flitz vs. aged porcelain sign

#1

Post by Barry Travis »

Rather than read another one of my overblown posts, I'll show you a porcelain sign I picked up yesterday, and how a product called Flitz can help its condition and grade. Porcelain is pretty durable, so you are only limited by your endurance and elbow grease. It does have some abrasive quality when used on cans too vigorously, but it can also help painted signs, trays and similar objects.

That is a sweet Karlsbrau sign! I plan on using Flitz on my new 4X sign.

Fellas...I realize I may be beating a dead horse, or..you think I'm on the payroll, but the stuff works. Amazingly well. And I realize that I'm a geek that LOVES to polish a sign I know will improve a grade or two. Its kinda' like mowing the lawn,blowing leaves, etc.-one of those "mindless man tasks" that you take some self-satisfaction in getting done.

And here is a picture of a can done with Flitz. The best place to buy it seems to be via Ebay. I get the 2 lb. can every 3-4 years.
