Frequently Asked Questions: AMC Brass & Copper Polishing Mitt with Tarnish Retardant
What is the AMC Brass & Copper Mitt and how do they work?
The impregnated polishing mitt cleans and restores shine to brass, copper, and bronze without the need for messy pastes or liquids. It contains micro-abrasive compounds and tarnish retardants.
How do I use the polishing mitt correctly?
Rub gently over the metal surface using circular motions until tarnish disappears. For intricate detail, gently rub the mitt with a bit more pressure. Finish by buffing the whole unit.
Do I need any additional polishes or liquid?
No, the mitts are pre-treated, they are only designed for lightly tarnished items. For extremely tarnished items, pre-clean with a good quality brass and copper polish first. The mitt is purely for maintenance.
Are they safe for lacquered brass and copper?
Use only use the mitt on unlacquered brass and copper. For lacquered finishes, clean with a soft dry cloth to avoid removing protective coating.
How long will the mitt remain effective?
Each mitt treats multiple items. Once it darkens and no longer polishes effectively, replace it — use it stand alone, do not wash or use it with polish.
Why use an impregnated brass mitt over traditional polishes?
Because they are designed for maintenance. They’re faster, less messy and reduce over-polishing, which helps preserve fine detailing and inscriptions on antiques.
Can the brass and copper mitt be reused?
Yes. Store it sealed in its pouch after use to prevent drying out. Replace when blackened or ineffective.
