Good Afternoon,

I'm looking for a brass and/or copper polish that will be safe for early
18th century household items that are part of the displayed collection. I
have heard of Nev-R-Dull, Rubin-Brite, and a paste made with Calcium
Carbonate. Are there any other products out there that I should look for?
Or are these the best? Where is the best place to purchase these supplies?

I'm leaning towards the Calcium Carbontate paste, but one source said used
only distilled water and the other said mix it with a 2% solution of mild
detergent and water. Is one better than the other?

Thanks for the help.
