Brasso Metal Polish

[Haadkoe]

I bought a bottle of this stuff at the supermarket a while back, but just got around to giving it a try. It's a liquid in a squeeze bottle, as opposed to the paste style I remember from my childhood. Labelled for use on brass, copper, stainless, pewter and bronze.

My copper Sir Lancelot clone and copper Smpl have become my day to day carry to work beater mods, and were both getting really dingy looking. Patina is one thing, but these were getting to the point of looking gross on the outside. Since it was time to clean the oxidation off of my contacts and dig the grime out of my switches and threads and such anyway, I figured I'd give the Brasso a go.

Disassembled the mods, covered them in a thin layer of Brasso, and walked away for about 10 minutes. Came back, wiped the Brasso off with a sponge, and was pretty damn surprised at how effective it was. Completely obliterated the oxidation, with basically no effort on my part. Rinse, dry, done.

Most of the homestyle cleaning products I've heard people mention here (99% isopropyl, lemon juice, toothpaste, etc) didn't do shit in comparison. This stuff works a treat.

Yes its great stuff. I use it on all my mods. I think it fuckes up silver though. Makes polishing a breeze.

 

[Haadkoe]

They had another bottle for silver, fwiw, although I don't know if they called it Brasso. Silvero? Silverado? Idunno, no sterling mods in my collection yet, lol.​

I got a nemmy with silver plated contacts. I use alchol on those. They have never show any signs of needing to polished. Just wantes to say that in case you had a mod like that.

 

[Haadkoe]

I didn't even think about the plated contacts when you mentioned it messing up silver. Good info there!! (No plated contacts on my current gear though, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. )

I have also found that Wrights Copper Cream works very well for cleaning and polishing copper and you can get it at just about any hardware store or supermarket.

Try Wenol polish it works graet

Maintaining your mod is not an aesthetic modification, and the topic relates to mech mods specifically. That's why I posted the thread in the mech mods section .

If I wanted it here, I would have posted it here.

As rude as you were about it, I still moved it back to where you originally had it, you're welcome

I can attest to it not being a good idea to PO Miss Whiskey.

Still regrowing a chunk of my ass back from the one and only time I did

 

[Haadkoe]

Sorry ma'am, rough morning.

 

[Whiskey]

No biggy, hope the day goes better for ya.....

 

[Haadkoe]

Thanks, and I hope that the day treats you well also.

I have brasso and Im honestly not impressed. It smells like ass and doesnt work for shit.
I use mothers mag wheel polish on my brass praxis and it shines better than brand new.
Mothers is much much better, more versatile, and much less stinky.

 

[Haadkoe]

Did ya let it sit, or did you apply it and immediately start polishing? I just let it sit, and it removed everything without effort.

Mothers is some damn good stuff though, I'll give ya that.

 

[Speedemon]

I also use Brasso on all my connection pins cleans them up to new

 

[kruzer00]

Appreciate the advice on the Brasso. Does anyone have a good polish for titanium?

Love Brasso myself. We use it for our copper bottomed pots and pans. Works great on my mods too.

These cloths work fantastic and don't smell like chemicals

 

[GrayVaper]

That's the one I couldn't think of! Yes, they do work great. I had one of their clothes once. Kind of a bubble gum smell if I remember.

Yeah, they call it vanilla. It's much more pleasant to work with for sure, and they work great.
