brass

[junerab]

hi all any one know how to keep old and new brass cleaned to keep the shine on it at all times thanks again

[woodchopper]

Brasso or Duraglit and lots of good old fashioned elbow grease.
Brass willl always tarnish so the only option is to keep polishing it.

[YvonneM]

Very often new brass is coated and does not need a polish only a wipe with a damp cloth

[heathfield]

Once you've got it thoroughly polished, give it two (thin) coats of 'diamond hard' polyurethate gloss varnish. I have brass door handles I did this way over 10 years ago, and they're still like new, despite being in frequent use.

Delete 'polyurethate', and insert 'polyurethane'! (I blame the keyboard)!
