Steel Wool

Available in three grades, this steel wool is manufactured to a very high specification to ensure a consistent degree of abrasion. Inferior steel wools can contain oil (to prevent them rusting), which affects the surface finish you're applying. Grade 0000 ? This very fine grade steel wool is particularly recommended for applying wax polish to any surface. Using steel wool instead of a cloth will help you to apply a very thin coat of wax. It's also used to sand down between coats of Teak Oil or Danish Oil. As well as acting as a very fine sandpaper, it ensures that there is a 'key' on the surface for the next coat to adhere better. Try using it for cleaning and polishing bright metals. Grade 0 ? This grade is used for stubborn dirt on woodwork and metal or for use after stripping paint to ensure a clean surface prior to finishing. Try it on barbeque grilles, but not chrome. Grade 2 ? This coarse steel wool is used mainly for stripping paint, lacquers and varnish from woodwork as an aid to paint strippers.
