Am trying to restore oil-rubbed bronze finish on solid brass faucet. It is not bright brass - ORB finish was only partially removed. Will this work?

If it is brass it will darken the piece, solution has to be warm 140 degrees, and it should only take a few seconds to see a change

I used a tall, single handle chrome faucet and drain. I'm no decorator but I would think the bronze would be too much brown. The matte finish of the sink seems match well with the chrome.

definitely more bronze(think milk chocolate) The finish is matte, but there is a lovely, very thin line of coppery patina on the top edge of the handles, rim of spout, and around top of stopper, just for interest. I have paired it with other oil rubbed bronze fixtures, and they all match¡

I'm really not sure. I have an old but not antique brass bed which is not tarnished. But--of all the things I would try, it would be Maas. I use it on my silver (some antique) and it does an exceptionally good job.

I used this on a brass plug in a bathroom sink and it has worked better than the other brass lacquer I've used. If I were trying to keep copper outdoors from turning color I would probably use this and respray when it was no longer turns water

I would say it is a dark bronze, not black like oil rubbed. It goes well with oil rubbed, that is what all my fixtures in that bathroom are including sink faucet. Hope this helps.

I don't know specifically, I have. Diamond bright finish. By the way, this particular stopped circulating after two months. I would not recommend it.

If you want shiny/new brass then tumble them. I always do along with just a bit of polish and the brass comes out looking like new, even on 10 times reloaded brass.

We just have faucet and spayer. Solid brass (no plastic). Had since Jan. works fine.

I have used this on many different surfaces: plastic, wood and metal. The only place it wore off from was a highly used doorknob. I don't think primer would have made a difference, maybe if I had roughed the knob first with something like steel wool, to remove the shiny brass finish before I painted it would not have rubbed off as much...

Okay I did write to Delta and sent the following reply: "Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in Delta Faucet Company products. I would be happy to help you.The metal body parts of the faucet are cast brass.Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance. Best Regards, KeriConsumer Response Representative"I guess that we will be ordering more this summer during the Dallas remodel. Thanks BMF again for making us aware of the potential problem : ) gm

As I said in my review it's very close, but it's more of a dark burgundy color. Whereas true oil rubbed bronze is more of a dark brown. As long as it's not sitting right next to your fixtures I doubt anyone would notice. I uploaded a picture but not sure if Amazon will let it post, and keep in mind it's a phone pic. http://i.imgur.com/tFylEAf.jpg. Having said all that, I don't regret the purchase. Good deal for the money.

Id try something else like Semi-Chrome or Noxon. This is more of a Polish than a rust remover / Chrome Cleaner. Although it may do the trick, you can try it but Id say to buy a can, only if you have other uses for it... this stuff lasts a good bit and works great for shining stuff up.

We bought a rubbed bronze faucet and this set to compliment the faucet. If you are trying to match I don't think that this would be best but the contrast and the fact that it should match your faucet is a good thing. I Like my metals to match and was not trying to match it to the sink itself. some of the darker parts of the ring have rubbed off a bit since I purchased the product so it is showing a bit more bronze now which I am fine with but if you were looking for it to be black I don't know if this is the best idea.

Hi Cindy, I have no clue. I know ketchup will remove some stains from bronze.I purchased the boston polish specifically for wood.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, so this will work on copper. I actually used it on bronze (copper/tin alloy) and worked great.
