[Heath] Apache Satin vs Chrome Knobs

[Paul]

"Bar Keepers Friend" 

That would have described me in the late 1980s when I was a field engineer
for MCI!

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.
