The Ultimate Three-Step Pen Polish!


TLMG

Recommended Posts

Hey there everyone!

 

I've been speaking to Wim for a while now and finally got a chance to join the forum and become a bit more active!

 

I originally got bitten by the bug when a client of mine gave me a MB #32. I fell in love with it and started grabbing up different models and knibs.

One thing that KILLED me was how quickly the pens seemed to grab up scratches... I felt like if I looked at it wrong, a gouge would appear!

 

I formulated my own polish system... one that eventually became three individual steps:

 

Step #0: A scratch remover with diminishing abrasives.

Step #1: A cleaner and shine enhancer that fills in microscratches.

Step #2: A shine enhancer that layers to form a protective barrier!

 

Originally, when I started selling this on ebay, the Step #0 was VERY VERY fine and didn't diminish... You needed to spend a lot of time rubbing your pen to get rid of scratches.

 

About a year or so ago, I completely reformulated the system using the feedback I received from my users... the new Step #0 very quickly makes scratches disappear... and it diminishes so you dont need to worry about unsightly scratches!

 

Anyway... ever since then, I've had hundreds of happy customers who are completely in love with the system. Wim and I spoke about it and he suggested I come over here and let everyone else take advantage of it.

The link above is only for FPN memebers so please do not pass it around! It equates to roughly a 20% discount from how much I normally let the three step system go for on eBay.

My apologies for the poor looking website. This is sort of a "passion" of mine so I don't have the funds or profit to really make a professional website LOL.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Austin-- You're my first ever reply on FPN. My heart is racing ;-)

 

To be clear, while I made this for use with MontBlanc originally, it will work on essentially any pen!

I'm fairly certain that different manufacturers use different kinds of resins for their pens, though. I'm hoping this formulation will work for Sailors as well :P

 

Anyway, this is going into the shopping cart once the posting rings on my pen get too far out of hand, haha. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck! (EDIT: Not that I think you'll need any, microscratches on resin being a really vexing thing for many FP enthusiasts. Well, except for those that think wear adds to character, anyway :rolleyes: )

Kevin,

 

Thanks for the reply!

Yes-- very true that different pen manufacturers use different resin forulations-- in fact, as you know, the formula even changes across years!

 

With that said, over the time I have sold my system I have had clients purchase them for their modern MBs, celluloid MBs, Pelikans, Sheaffers, Sailors, and more off the top of my head. I'm certain that they have been tried on essentially every brand... never a complaint!

The posting rings were one of the things that I hated... I swear the MB especially... just the act of holding it leaves it with scratches :(

Almost sold out of this batch. New batch should be in soon and get bottled after testing it to make sure it is up to snuff.

I finally got around to trying this on an old Sheaffer Craftsman. It did a remarkably good job. I tried to post a pic, but can't seem to.

 

No affiliation, etc. Just a woman with a couple of cleaner pens.

I've heard that on vintage Montblancs that they use a dipped amber celluloid/resin barrel, which is why they have an amber ink window. Would use of this polish risk going through that layer and making the amber body underneath visible? I have seen pictures of an overpolished vintage Montblanc that was a translucent amber.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
