Use small amounts of Brasso at a time, and add more product as you go– If you use too much Brasso you run the risk of it dripping everywhere as you use it, especially the liquid form, this is wasteful. And if your Brasso cleaning cloth goes dry, add more liquid Brasso to it or use a new piece of wadding.The formula changed in 2008 to comply with US volatile organic compounds law and the metal bottle was replaced by a plastic one. As a result of this, in 1913 the case was taken to the Railway and Canal Commissioners for a decision. Brasso Liquid Metal Polishcan be used on your Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel, Chrome and Pewterobjects for a longer lasting shine. Everyone has some experience in fixing things around the home, garden, buildings, vehicles, boats and on and on. Gently rub a piece of Brasso wadding onto the surface you want to clean to perform a small patch test – make sure the Brasso doesn’t mark or stain the surface you’re about to polish.

Brasso, on account of its ammonia content, has been used as a de-coppering agent in rifle barrels to remove copper fouling.

Regularly wipe/buff the already treated areas with an additional clean cloth to see how you’re polishing exercise is going. Perform a small patch test to make sure the Brasso doesn’t mark or stain the surface you’re about to polish. This, in turn, means that you can quickly remove the wadding from the tin and use it straight away to polish a surface.Always wear gloves and a mask– Brasso can cause skin irritation and inhaling the fumes may lead to drowsiness. You should remove Brasso from small nooks before it dries– Use a small, slim tool that’s wrapped in a cloth to tease the excess Brasso from crevices. You’ve got to put some elbow grease into the cleaning exercise – it’s not just going to work on its own. Leaving the Brasso to dry will just make it harder to remove, and you might not end up with the sleek finish you were after if there’s Brasso residue all over the place.

If you do have Brasso residue leftover, either keep buffing it off the surface or use a clean cloth to remove it. 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. 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. The polish grew in popularity in Britain, becoming widely available, eventually replacing the previous paste-style polishes. 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.

Because of the hydrocarbon components in the mixture it had a flash point of 72°F (22°C) ( Abel Close test) and so was classed by railway companies as dangerous goods. Don’t leave a job half done – Once you start using Brasso to clean a surface, you should finish cleaning the surface in one go.
