Recently we’ve discussed a number of products to use or not use when hand polishing brass.
For those interested in ammonia-free products we know there is Flitz liquid but not their tube polish. Of course there are others.
I’ve posted again a picture of the results of my test using toothpaste. It beats Flitz. I’m serious. It was especially quick and just rinses off BUT of course there is no lasting protection from tarnishing. But no ammonia either.
Another picture is of the Cape Cod polishing cloth package. By email this AM the mfr told me it’s ammonia free.
I tried the cloth and it’s kind of like Never Dull in that it’s already impregnated with a polish. Works very well but a little messier. Does not appear to have any abrasives.
So, FWIW, 1) toothpaste 2) Cape Cod
