Brasso Metal Polish, 175 ml

Product Information

If your brass isn’t too grimy, this might be all you need for a refresh. For a more neglected piece, store-bought brass cleaners will get your brass polished in a jiffy. Grab a soft cleaning cloth—Sorenson prefers a knit-cotton material, like an old undershirt—and buff away. To remove discoloration, use a cleaning product specifically designed for brass, like Wright’s Brass Polish. Although, if you’ve used an appropriate amount of Brasso for the surface you need to clean, and you’ve worked the Brasso into the item and buffed it as well, there shouldn’t be any need to remove the Brasso with water. When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of The Range.

Clean your piece of metal with liquid dish soap and rinse, then dry the item thoroughly. Coat the surface of the item with polish and allow it to soak in for 5 minutes. Next, wipe the object down with a microfibre cloth, then rinse the metal item again. Fully dry the metal, being careful not to leave fingerprints on the object. Remember, always read and follow the instructions on the Brasso bottle and test it on a small inconspicuous area before using it on the entire surface. With proper care and regular cleaning, Brasso can help you keep your metal surfaces looking shiny and beautiful. Choosing the Right Surfaces for Brasso 1. Metals Technically speaking, as you continuously massage Brasso into the surface you’re polishing, you will be wiping some of the product off as you go. This is what’s supposed to happen. The online data sheet for Brasso wadding in the UK lists the ingredients as C8–10 Alkane/Cycloalkane/Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, C14–18 and C16–18 unsaturated Fatty acids, Kaolinite, Aqua, Ammonium Hydroxide and Iron Hydroxide. Brasso liquid lists a slightly different mix; C8–10 Alkane/Cycloalkane/Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Kaolin, C12–20 Saturated and Unsaturated Monobasic Fatty Acids, Aqua and Ammonium Hydroxide. Also available are ingredients in a discontinued recipe for Brasso. Wadding: C8–10 Alkane/Cycloalkane/Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Ammonium Tallate and Colorant. Liquid: C8–10 Alkane/Cycloalkane/Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Quartz, Kaolin and Ammonium Tallate. [6]Apply a liberal amount of Brasso to the cloth and rub it onto the stained surface using circular motions. It has been used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and centre), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect. [8] [9] [10] Brasso can also be used on porcelain and ceramic surfaces, such as sinks and toilet bowls, to remove stains and restore shine. Another use of Brasso, that people have tried, is to remove the scratches on the glass or plastic lens of their spectacles or sunglasses.

Keep an eye out for a blue and white striped pot that has a big red label on the front, with the name ‘Brasso’ on it. Brasso is a well-known metal polisher, that can be used to polish, remove tarnish and clean up chrome, stainless steel, copper, and of course, brass. Using the cloth with Brasso, gently rub the surface in circular motions. This will help remove any dirt, grime, or tarnish from the surface. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can cause scratches. 6. Wipe Away Excess Brasso

Salt (sodium) has a positive charge and is a cation, which is very small. Chlorine has a negative charge, anion, and is very big in comparison to the sodium. Vinegar and sodium react to make sodium acitate and hydrochloric acid which break down the “gunk” in the brass. The bubbles are a gas that is forming (proof that a reaction is happening). He wasn’t exactly sure what gas was forming because what is on the brass is unknown to him. That gas gets released into the atmosphere, but their forming on the brass surface indicates that the reaction is breaking down whatever is on the brass and it will be easier to clean off. Most likely the reaction is with the oxygen, hydrogen, or chlorine. Also, if you want to remove rust from brass or copper, use nitric acid. (I have no idea how dangerous that could be, but it sounds like you should use caution.) 1. Brasso 2. Bar Keeper’s Friend 3. Lemon juice and baking soda scrub 4. Tomato juice soak 5. Ketchup soak 6.

With that said, the lemon juice and baking soda paste seemed to have the brightest shine, the most consistent finish and got the crevices the cleanest with the least amount of work. I did veer from the original recipe by letting the handles soak in the mixture for a while, but it was definitely an easy method. The white vinegar with kosher salt on aluminum foil took less time than the lemon method, but is was not as consistent with the finish and it didn’t get the crevices as clean as the lemon, but they were still pretty dang good. My least favorite methods were the first two; the Brasso and the Bar Keeper’s Friend were just more labor intensive and not as bright of a finish in the end.
