Brasso Metal Polish, 175 ml

Product Information

The formula now conforms with the safety regulations in most countries, but is essentially the same formula Grandma used. Brasso has been successfully used to take minor (white) heat marks out of French polished wooden surfaces. This classic metal polisher can turn dulling surfaces into shiny wonders with just a quick wipe and a buff. Using Brasso to clean and polish grotty metal surfaces is super easy, and doesn’t cost you a fortune! Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks.

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. Continue to do this until the patch is clean – you might need to apply more pressure to certain grimey patches. We do our best to try and protect the item in transit but as honest sellers it is best to warn you that you can probably expect a dent in the can. And if your Brasso cleaning cloth goes dry, add more liquid Brasso to it or use a new piece of wadding. Brasso Liquid Metal Polishcan be used on your Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel, Chrome and Pewterobjects for a longer lasting shine.This, in turn, means that you can quickly remove the wadding from the tin and use it straight away to polish a surface. Brasso, if used correctly, will naturally be worked into a surface, and any residue will be buffed away by a clean cloth at the end of the exercise.

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. Regularly wipe/buff the already treated areas with an additional clean cloth to see how you’re polishing exercise is going. 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. 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. Everyone has some experience in fixing things around the home, garden, buildings, vehicles, boats and on and on.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. Brasso Liquid Metal Polish can be used on your Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel, Chrome and Pewter objects for a longer lasting shine. This classification allowed the railway companies to charge more for distributing Brasso around the country.

Always wear gloves and a mask– Brasso can cause skin irritation and inhaling the fumes may lead to drowsiness.Perform a small patch test to make sure the Brasso doesn’t mark or stain the surface you’re about to polish.

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. Gadgetcare is a versatile, non-abrasive gel that can be used on everything from LCD TV screens, laptop screens, computers, smart phones and PDAs. The label of Australian Brasso lists "Liquid Hydrocarbons 630g/L; Ammonia 5g/L", whereas the material safety data sheet for Brasso in North America lists: isopropyl alcohol 3–5%, ammonia 5–10%, silica powder 15–20% and oxalic acid 0–3% as the ingredients. 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. 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. After a hearing lasting two days the commissioners decided in favour of the railway companies and Brasso remained classed as a dangerous substance for the purposes of railway transport.
