Product Information

Brasso has been used by watch enthusiasts to polish scratches out of acrylic crystals on watches. [12] Gently rub a piece of Brasso wadding onto the surface you want to clean to perform a small patch test – make sure the Brasso doesn’t mark or stain the surface you’re about to polish. Brasso can be bought from most hardware stores and supermarkets. You’ll typically find it near to, or in, the cleaning products aisle.

Brasso has been successfully used to take minor (white) heat marks out of French polished wooden surfaces. The fine abrasive cuts through the surface and allows the solvent into the wax and lacquer layer. The surface should be properly cleaned and waxed after this treatment. Always wear gloves and a mask– Brasso can cause skin irritation and inhaling the fumes may lead to drowsiness.Use small amounts of Brasso at a time, and add more product as you go– If you use too much Brasso you run the risk of it dripping everywhere as you use it, especially the liquid form, this is wasteful. In 2010, Brasso brought out a new product, Brasso Gadgetcare. Gadgetcare is a versatile, non-abrasive gel that can be used on everything from LCD TV screens, laptop screens, computers, smart phones and PDAs. The plastic bottle is 50ml and is sold with a microfibre cloth. Keep an eye out for a blue and white striped pot that has a big red label on the front, with the name ‘Brasso’ on it.

The label of Australian Brasso lists "Liquid Hydrocarbons 630g/L; Ammonia 5g/L", whereas the material safety data sheet for Brasso in North America lists: isopropyl alcohol 3–5%, ammonia 5–10%, silica powder 15–20% and oxalic acid 0–3% as the ingredients. [4] However, the Australian version contains kaolin instead of silica for abrasives. [5]You’ve got to put some elbow grease into the cleaning exercise – it’s not just going to work on its own. If you buy a liquid can of Brasso, you need to pour a small amount of the can’s contents onto a clean cloth to use the solution.
