Are there any acceptable brass polishes for use on artifacts? I have seen the concerns with Brasso, but I haven’t seen many options for what is safe and effective. Has anyone ever tried Hagerty brass polish?
In one of the posts from the list serv, I saw where Brasso can cause damage that may not show up for a few years. There are a some objects in our collection that are known to have been polished with Brasso, is there anything that can be done to prevent or slow corrosion?
Thanks,
