H5 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 While on a shopping trip this morning I needed some silver polish for my gf's jewellery, and saw a tin of Brasso liquid for the princely sum of £1.32. I thought why not, and tried it out during a big session this afternoon. Forget your Glym, Megs or Autosol, this stuff is awesome. Hardly any effort, and what a shine!! And only £1.32 a tin.

Emperor Ming Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 H5 Hi mate. Another secret out of the bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been using brasso to finish off my bright work for ages now. If you want the ultimate shine on polished metal though get one of those soft rags impregnated with stuff that is used for polishing gold and silver. Rub , polish off , step back in awe!!!!!!!!!!!!

monkfish Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I saw that too John. Ridiculous!! They were cleaning the chrome bumpers on some beat-up Chevvy pick-up though. Did you see the one where they left 2 pigs to decompose in a Corvette for 6 months then tried to clean the car? It was disgusting. Even Ming wouldn't have attempted that one!!

M13KYF Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 i've got some silvo which is made by brasso. Have to say that it couldn't shift a dirty patch on the underside of the exhaust tip. Autosol shifted it very easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Interesting. Why on earth do they do silvo then. Perhaps brasso is more concentrated. Will bear it in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 No idea tbh Mike. Like I say, just saww it and thought I'd give it a go. It may even be the same stuff in the bottle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best results are had putting it on with your bear hands. I think it is to do with the sweat but it definately works better and is LOADS more satisfying. Clean soft cloth to buff it off and you get a better, quicker shine. Ming the sad Git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbside*motors Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 This is a 100% genuine post! For removing stubborn stains/marks from chrome or plastic (I.E. headlamps) use whitening toothpaste. Apply it like polish. I dunno if every make works but aquafresh certainly does! Please take this serious as it genuinely works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toothpaste is only like a fine solvo - although I wouldn't clean my teeth with solvo. You can buy Farecla Rubbing compound as well in various grades which does exactly the same thing but a lot more expensively and it doesnt taste as nice.
