FCS - How do I wax my HÉTÉROFOCUS fireplace to maintain the finish?

The Heterofocus is waxed raw steel and should be cleaned after installation and waxed twice a year.

After installation, wipe surface down with a soft cloth to remove any debris

If there is any rust buildup during shipment or storage please follow the steps below

  • Soak a rag in mineral spirits to remove the black wax and rust.
  • If you cannot remove all the rust with a rag, you can use fine steel wool (#OOO)
  • Press hard enough to remove the rust, but not too hard to scratch the surface
  • Place small 1/4" diameter dollops of the supplied Zebraline ® wax (provided with your fireplace) every 6" on and around the cleaned area 
  • Spread them evenly with a soft cotton cloth
  • Polish with a clean cloth 
  • Clean and wax twice a year to prevent rust from reappearing
  • Please click on the link below for a demonstration of the Zebraline ® application
