But it will when the CC fails. Especially if you get any salt air where you are, wax all exposed parts. Won't completely protect it, but will help the CC survive a bit longer. When I lived in Charleston, I had a brass mail slot. About 6 months before the clear coat would start to fail (no matter how much wax). First couple of times polished it up to like new and watched it tarnish again. Finally gave up and just spent $15 on a new one couple of times a year. Salt air eats CC on brass extremely fast.
