Does anyone know how much I would need to polish a large queen brass bed? Thank you!

Depending on the amount of tarnish, I would purchase at least five tubes. It only takes a small, pea-sized amount to clean a square foot.

I ordered the tube pictured on Amazon...I think you'd need 4 or 5 of these. Maybe contact the manufacturer directly to see if they make a larger size than what is offered on Amazon??

Depends on how badly tarnished and how much elbow grease you plan to use. The product is not a "dip it" kind of product. You apply it then rub and do it again as necessary. Be careful with any metal -- if it is lacquered metal it could be a problem. Test first.

In my opinion 2 tubes should be sufficient . It also depends how much cleaning is required. If the brass is heavily pitted you may need more, but just for polishing 2 tubes would suffice.

I would guess that a brass headboard might take two tubes. It is hard to say. The creme comes in a larger size.

these would be nice with golden oak and give a little contrast against the golden oak cabinet. I agree that shiny brass would be too shiny and would prefer these or bronze rather than shiny brass.

Brass was tumbled and pretty polished. I ran it all through a bulge buster, de-primed, swagged out any crimps and tossed out a very small number of crushed cases or flaky plating. I gave away the plated stuff and then tumbled again before reloading.I am very satisfied with my purchase and will do it again.

Wenol would be perfect for cleaning a tarnished copper tub. I just restored an antique brass bed that was badly tarnished. I tried Brasso, Wright's Copper Cream and Wenol. Wenol was BY FAR the superior product. Just apply a small amount with a clean cotton cloth and rub it in. Be prepared--it takes a lot of rubbing but you'll love the results!

I have not used it on other metals (such as brass). Google Goddards and ask their customer service people. They are very helpful - and may have another product that is just what you need. Everything of theirs that I have used has been great. Their marble cleaner did a spectacular job, for example.

So far, so good and no problems what-so-ever. I've probably used it 7 or 8 times so far with a duration of 4-5 hours for each of those. I'm using crushed walnut shells that I already had for my blast cabinet with a shot of Frankford's Brass Polish thrown in for good measure. Brass comes out looking very nice.Bottom line: For the price compared to others out there, I've very pleased. Hope this helps.

I have only used it on very bright, well cleaned brass, and it worked very well. Just make sure the copper is very clean and that it has not been previously coated with anything.

This is definitely brass polished metal. Good size weight...not light by any means but not overly heavy. It was a very good purchase for a bedside table lamp.

I suppose you could try it but I'd just get some Brasso Brasso Multipurpose Metal Polish-8 oz

Brass needs to be thoroughly rinsed, toweled and dried. Air drying takes about 2-3 days unless you have a hand dryer. I leave mine on the towel and roll them around once or twice, it keeps the water spots down.

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 just use it for brass cleaning. Only needs about 4 or 5 hours for that but I usually turn it on before bed then turn it off when I get up in the morning.

I had a shiny #12 brass screw left over from a previous project and dipped the head of it in the bluing liquid for about 20 seconds, and it came out looking like antique brass. I tapped the screw head on a paper towel to get the excess liquid off, then let it sit on the paper towel for a minute or so before wiping it off good. It retained the antique look it had coming out of the liquid. I believe leaving it in the liquid longer or dipping it a second time, etc., would darken it up even more, but it has a nice aged look to it even now; I wish I could post a photo of it for you, but this is about the best I can do.

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

Apologies Bonnie, I've never tried to do that. Guess I'm not thinking of trying to save money. I polish for commercial purposes and inlay my Art work. My polishers run 7 days a week and stop only when changing Grits or pulling finished items, Bone, Stone, Ivory, Operculum or raw Jewels :-)

I highly recommend a finish coat. Not required, but once dirty impossible to clean without re-sanding and re-finishing. You can get a flat or satin finish if you don't want gloss.
