Fun with Propolish

**jaybs02** · 10-10-2005, 02:47 PM

We were starting to get things ready for halloween and the upcoming holidays,

so I had the brass candle sticks which haven`t been done in a while. So with todays crummy weather I thought I would polish them up and I remember Steve said that ProPolish worked on metal as well so I thought I would give it a try.

Afters:

I must say I am very happy with the results. Looks like I found another way to spend money on detailing supplies :-p

I can`t let my wife see this thread - she`ll use all my pro polish!

Nice work

Did you get that amazing shine by hand or was there some mechanical help?

Don`t forget to maintain with some S&G.

Thanks for the comments,

Tubafeak, I did that by hand with an old terry wash cloth, to polish and remove most of the black residue, then I went over them with an inexpensive MF

Travis, I`m tempeted to go over them with some EX-P but I don`t know it that will prevent them from tarnishing.

I`m not sure if EX-P will prevent the brass from tarnishing, but it`s worth a shot. If you do, keep us posted though I hate polishing metalwork only to have it tarnish within a couple months.

I would have used Wheel Sealant but EX-P should slow down the oxidation process

Thanks Steve, maybe I`ll give it a try.
Of course you know my wife already thinks that I am crazy and this is not going to help my case of proving her wrong

Nice work! I`ve been thinking of putting some Natty`s Blue on top of my old wood computer desk. I`ll probably save that for a day in the dead of winter.

**Closes thread quick so mom doesn`t see**

A couple days ago she took the S&W and sprayed all her artificial plants with it, just to see what happened. (Not much. LOL)

Jay it`s funny that you wrote this, as I used to carry some candle sticks with me to antique car show and demonstrate Professional Polish to clean them.
Many of the really old Antique Cars have a lot of Brass, Chrome, and some Stainless and these guys really liked an easy job.... :yes:

There is a restaraunt in my neighborhood that has huge brass beer taps and they use only Pro Polish on them to shine and cut down on the fingerprints.

Way to go Steve! :punk:
