Keeping Brass Clean & Reducing the Effects of Tarnishing

As soon as brass is exposed to the weather it will tarnish. To keep the polished brass look its needs to be regularly polished from the start using a standard brass cleaner and following the manufactures instructions.

To prolong periods between polishing, the exposed brass may be coated lightly in Vaseline or Olive Oil . This will not detract from the appearance of the plate yet reduces the rate of tarnishing.

An alternative is to for us to apply a lacquer. Although this does delay tarnishing but will never completely stop it and the lacquer itself, also deteriorates over time. However future brass cleaning would require removal of the lacquer with a paint stripper will remove the paint infill on signs .
