Cleaning my big ole wand

[White Collar]

I tried cleaning my wand tonight with "bar keepers friends" and as you can see from the picture, as it dries it gets real cloudy.

I haven't exactly taken the best care of her, so maybe it's just completly jacked up...

I was just hoping that there may be something I could use on her to make her shine a bit more.

Any ideas?

Clean it up and have it wrapped with your logo. I'm wrapping every thing that goes in the house. They will remember you. Learned that form Mark at MF and it works.

Got a Makita ?


Get a buffing wheel and some metal polish and go to town

Been drinking Mikey?

And then logo it up

Drugs and he's not sharing

I always used vinegar or acetic acid to soak it first, then buff to polish.

Take care,

soak it in vinegar over night and it will shine like a new penny..............

Maybe a little CLR, then a polish or hit it with a clear coat of spray paint?

Spray it with toilet bowl cleaner and rub with a green scrubber. All that soap scum will rinse right off.

Bar keepers friend is the worst crap out there.

Dip a rag in Viper Restore... Rub your wand thoroughly (your cleaning wand).
Rinse with water.
Neutralize with alkaline.
Rinse again.

Good stuff.. Thanks.
I didn't have a makita but I had a maroon pad and with a bunch of elbow grease I got it looking pretty dang good..

Mark, where could I get my wand wrapped? Do local sign shops do things like that?

Yes....I just have my decal shop make them up for me....I just use a front logo sticker....less expensive and you are going to go through a few if not careful.

I change them out about 2-3 times a year at least.

Sometimes, I just freshen them up for photo shoots you could say

So you are changing them out every 3-4 days?!

My sign guy likes his carpets cleaned so he is always happy to make me more.
