MAAS stands out as a company with documentation; its products are superior on a wide variety of surfaces. We have made considerable effort to ensure MAAS formulas meet government and industry standards. MAAS easy “wipe-on wipe-off” multi-purpose polishes and cleaners clean, polish, protect, and restore; apply a deep rich luster imparting a more vibrant appearance to surfaces.

ALL Metals, Fiberglass, Plexiglas, Eisenglass, mirrors, clouded glass & crystal, leaded glass, ceramics & ceramic tile, porcelain, enamel, Corian, Avonite, granite, marble, laminates & Formica, linoleum, plastic convertible windows, plastics, Plexiglas, Lexan, acrylic, powder coating, auto & aircraft paint (to remove stains and buff out surface scratches), solid vinyl, polyurethane; all non-porous surfaces.

If MAAS does not instantly remove tarnish this indicates the metal is lacquered. The lacquer must be removed before cleaning and polishing. It is best to show the metal item to your local hardware store manager and ask his opinion for the best product and method to remove old lacquer. Once lacquer is removed MAAS will quickly remove tarnish and oxidation. To protect against harsh weather and the elements apply MAAS Metal Protector. The protector can be used on all non-porous surfaces and is recommended for indoor and outdoor use. The deep luster is unsurpassed.

Always read manufacturers recommendations regarding plated metals.
Solid silver and gold are stamped indicating it is a solid metal. For brass and copper place a magnet on the metal if it holds to the metal it is plated. Manufacturers of plated metals do not recommend using polishes; often the “plating” is painted on and is paper-thin; these surfaces cannot withstand any cleaning solutions. MAAS recommends our polishing cloth or polishing gloves to gently remove tarnish and oxidation from these delicate surfaces.

Quality plated silver can be polished with MAAS Metal Polish. If you are unsure of the quality of your silver we recommend testing on an inconspicuous area. After polishing some of our customers have stated they apply MAAS Metal Protector, which completely eliminated re-polishing. They periodically wipe their silver with MAAS Polishing Gloves or MAAS Polishing Cloth, which gently removes any discoloration while reapplying the MAAS protection; the polishing gloves and cloth come in handy for last minute touch-ups.

Plated metals must be gently wiped with a very soft cloth; use very little pressure; hard rubbing will remove plating even without using cleaning products.

MAAS is safe for chrome plating. Use a very soft cloth to remove discoloration. After cleaning, apply MAAS Metal Protector. The super-strong protection applies a deep luster that no product can duplicate.

Brushed stainless steel and chrome are easily marred by harsh chemicals and hard rubbing. Most stainless steel spray cleaners contain water, chemicals, and oil; which leave an oily residue that attracts fingerprints and dust. MAAS Stainless Steel and Chrome Spray Cleaner is a one step cleaner-polish that instantly removes grease and residue; leaves a highly polished surface, maintains factory finishes, protects against dust adhesion and fingerprints.

To restore stained and badly discolored smooth stainless steel surfaces and chrome carefully apply MAAS Polishing Creme with a clean, soft cloth. Do not rub hard, allow MAAS polish to lift the stains. For brushed stainless steel, gently wipe in the direction of the brush marks using MAAS Liquid Metal Polish. Wipe with a damp clean cloth and dry to ensure all residues are removed.

MAAS Metal Polishing Creme safely restores tarnished and damaged metals: chrome, aluminum, magnesium, and alloy wheels.  MAAS Metal Protector is recommended for chrome that is in good condition that requires shine and protection.

Ron Pollichs Drag Racing Team uses MAAS Metal Polish and Metal Protector on their aluminum wheels; these products apply anti-static protection to wheels repelling brake dust and dirt. Ron Pollich mentioned that during racing fire hazards occur as brake dust builds up and this is no longer a problem since he has been using MAAS Polishes.

MAAS is safe for chrome plating. Use a very soft cloth to remove discoloration. After cleaning, apply MAAS Metal Protector.

Additionally, I have used your Polishing Cream on the chrome as well as the aluminum trim that had also been significantly oxidized over the years.

MAAS Metal Protector protects lacquered surfaces from cracking and breaking down; maintains the original luster. MAAS recommends applying the protector to new lacquered metals. If lacquered metals become tarnished read the following suggestions:

MAAS Metal Protector has no impact on lacquered surfaces because the protector never reaches the metal surface. I recommend customers contacting the manufacturers for care, removal of lacquer coating, warranty or replacement.
