How to use Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish

Before polishing, make sure the brass or copper surface is free from loose dirt and dust.

  1. Shake the bottle well before use.
  2. Apply a small amount of Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish to a soft, clean Lint Free cloth.
  3. Lightly polish the surface, concentrating on areas affected by tarnish and discolouration.
  4. Continue polishing until the tarnish has been removed.
  5. Allow the polish to dry to a light haze.
  6. Buff to a bright finish using a clean, dry cloth.
  7. If tarnish remains, repeat the process.

The polish dries within a few minutes. Once the metal has been cleaned, maintain the finish with a suitable brass polishing cloth.

Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure you are happy with the result.

Where can Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish be used?

Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish can be used on suitable copper and brass items, including:

  • Brass door handles
  • Brass hardware and fittings
  • Copper and brass ornaments
  • Trophies
  • Decorative metalwork
  • Brass furniture fittings
  • Copper decorative items
  • Other suitable copper and brass surfaces

It is particularly useful where brass or copper has become dull, tarnished or discoloured through exposure to air, moisture and handling.

For valuable, antique or delicate items, always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Maintaining polished brass and copper

Once tarnish has been removed, regular maintenance can help keep brass and copper looking bright for longer.

After polishing with Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish, use a brass polishing cloth for routine maintenance. Regular light polishing is preferable to allowing heavy tarnish to build up.

The anti-oxidant in the Antiquax formulation also helps slow further discolouration and oxidation, although brass and copper will naturally tarnish again over time.

For heavily tarnished or particularly dirty brass and copper, a dedicated Priory Polishes Brass Cleaning Solution can be a useful alternative where the item is suitable for immersion.

Can Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish prevent tarnish?

It can be used on suitable antique brass, but remember that polishing removes tarnish and oxidation and can therefore alter the appearance of an aged or naturally patinated surface. Always test first, particularly on valuable antiques.

For very heavily tarnished, dirty or greasy brass and copper, a dedicated brass and copper cleaning solution or bath may be more appropriate before finishing with a polish.

What temperature should Antiquax Copper and Brass Polish be applied at?

The ideal application temperature is approximately 15°C to 25°C.
