Porcelain Wax?
« on: September 12, 2015, 03:24:12 PM »
Is there a wax or coating recommended for the porcelain?  Something like a car wax or other to keep it looking new and clean?


Thanks.

You really don't need wax for porcelain, 0000 steel wool will keep it looking great.

I don't know of any waxes that will endure the heat from the kettle.

@ClubChapin

try NU Finish (car stuff, orange bottle) is not a wax (synthetic)

& it will be white where it fills in (blemishes) but I'm sure couple rounds of kettle heat will darken it.

I've used it on my black BMW w/ some luck

-Buff it smooth before drys
+Avoid the smoke/fumes while it polymerizes, as it has high zinc content.

I'm pretty sure @Jeff uses a product called Cerama Bryte - but I could be wrong.
I've been wrong before.

Yes, I've used cerma bryte to polish kettles and remove stubborn black marks on colored kettles that 0000 steel wool wasn't effective on

I have used the Le Creuset porcelain cleaner with great results. They sell it at Bed Bath and Beyond.
