[Heath] Apache Satin vs Chrome Knobs

[Glen Zook]

There is a product, available at many supermarkets, Walmart, etc., called "Bar Keeper's Friend".  Use a fairly soft cloth and just enough water to make a paste, and then polish the knob.  Rinse with clear water and dry.  Then use Clear Krylon to protect the knob.  The finish will be very bright.  Not quite as bright as chrome, but almost.  

I polished the knobs on my Apache, Mohawk, and SB-10 to get them close to the chrome knobs on my Warrior.

Of course, this is not perfect.  But, a whole lot better than the "normal" finish on the knobs.
