Imperial KK0059 Stove Polish Paste, Black, 6oz. Jar

This product worked for restoring my cast iron grates on my gas stove, they look brand new. I followed the instructions and applied a thin coat with a damp cloth then buffed off the extra. I protected my work surface and wore gloves because it seems like it could stain, and I didn’t want to find out, I also took the advice of another commenter and put the grates in a cold oven, turned it to 400 for half an hour then let them cool in the oven. The product does not rub off after heating. The heating tip is not on the label but since this product is for cast iron wood stoves, it makes sense.

Makes it look like new! So much easier than paint. Used on our 50 year old stove with slightly rusty stovepipe. A tiiiiiny bit goes a long way, and be prepared with gloves. We didn’t need to recover the whole flat black unit, but you certainly could.

We bought a 1983 Vermont Castings wood stove from FB marketplace that had been sitting in a garage for a VERY long time. It was fully intact, but had heavy surface rust and needed a good cleaning and refinish. This paste had good ratings and was the right price, so I gave it a shot. I cleaned the stove with 2 different 3M stripping pads and then cleaned with Red Scotch brite pads. After the clean up and a wipe clean, I applied this paste. It's very easy to use and very thick, so a little goes a long way. Fair warning: It's VERY messy. Make sure you prep the area where you intend to apply it and definitely wear gloves. Our stove looks BRAND NEW!!! I am very pleased with the finished look of our 37 year old stove, however after our first lighting, it is putting off one hell of an odor. I am hoping that it will dissipate, but as of now we have the stove burning with all the windows open trying to get the smell out. I'd say it's a mix between plastic and burning hair. My kids won't even watch TV in the family room cuz of this smell. I will update the review in a week once we know if and when the smell goes away. Edit for Update: the smell goes away after a couple strong fires.

This stuff is amazing! My stove was looking a little rusty in areas and overall dull. This polishing paste worked amazingly well with minimal effort! No more rust and my stove looks new again!

Impressed. Looks better than paint.

I never knew this existed but glad I finally found it! The burner caps on my stove always get discolored. This stuff makes them polish up like brand new. Very easy to use.

Total game changer. But if you have a stove like I, which is cast-iron but has that “orange peel” surface, it will take you longer than anticipated for sure.! Whoever suggested using a toothbrush was right on target, as that helped me immensely with the job. We’ll see what happens on my first burn a month or so from now.? But at this moment, I’m looking at a 32 year-old “brand new“ stove UPDATE 2 days later: Since the stove was looking brand new, decided to clean the front glass. While I was holding the door open while my left hand scrubbed the glass, the pictures show what was left on my hand/forearm. Obviously the polish is no longer on the door frame. Going to attempt a return. Rating went from a five star to a one star.

I'll add to the five star reviews, although there really isn't much else that can be said; most of the other reviews have said it all! A little goes a long way, love the wide mouth jar...great to dip your damp cloth in. There is no odor that I can detect. I will say, you should probably wear rubber gloves, just in case you get it on your hands (and then need to touch something else, or accidentally put your hand on your white wall...) It *does* wash off your hands easily, not so much off the walls, so be careful about getting it on anything nearby your stove (including the hearth, or whatever the stove sits on). I have a small pot belly stove that we have never used in our three season room. It's been 12 years since we've been in the house. The stove wasn't in bad shape at all...it was just pretty dull and sort of ashen in color. This polish brought it back to life! It's beautiful, with a nice matt, black finish now! I probably used about 1/3 of the jar, if that. This size jar was perfect for my needs, with plenty left if I want, or need, to put another coat on eventually. Highly recommend!

Removed stains on compressed stone cills.

Easy to apply. My wood burner looks like new just after initial application.

A patch of black colour was lost on the outside of our black wood heater fireplace when metho was used to remove a substance during our renovation. We purchased this product to try and fix the spot where a steel colour was coming through. It actually worked. I applied the product following the instructions to the whole fireplace and it looked brand new (however it didn't stick to the metal where the colour had come off). So I put a few more coats on the problem area and gently buffed it a few times and then left the final coat on without buffing. I'm very happy to report it fixed it and you can no longer noticed any discolouration :)

This product was recommended to me and it didn't disappoint! I sanded off the rust spots (see first photo) and applied the paste as directed. In 10 minutes, it was ready to buff! Reminds me of shoe polish and equally as messy - be sure to wear gloves! It gave my 20+ year old gas stove a fresh look without the expense of replacing it.
