Brasso Metal Polish Wadding, 75g

Product Information

Regularly wipe/buff the already treated surface with a new clean cloth to see how you’re polishing exercise is going. 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. [4] However, the Australian version contains kaolin instead of silica for abrasives. [5] In addition to this, if you’ve used an appropriate amount of Brasso, and you’ve worked it into a surface and then buffed the surface again, you shouldn’t really have any excess Brasso left behind. So, you won’t need to ‘wipe Brasso off a surface’ per se. Brasso has been successfully used to take minor (white) heat marks out of French polished wooden surfaces. The fine abrasive cuts through the surface and allows the solvent into the wax and lacquer layer. The surface should be properly cleaned and waxed after this treatment.

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.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. If you do have Brasso residue leftover, either keep buffing it off the surface or use a clean cloth to remove it.

If you buy a liquid can of Brasso, you need to pour a small amount of the can’s contents onto a clean cloth to use the solution.

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.
