I agree with John, if you havent polished brass before you may be better off hiring a metal restoration company
Lorne,
I would still check out the janitorial supply and explain what you have, this brass polish still maybe your answer. If not they may have another solution. I would recommend taking a picture of the damage and take it along with you to the janitorial supply. Worse case, you will need to contact a metal refinisher and they perhaps can assist you as one professional to another.

Thank you John, I failed to mention though that the brass has a grain to it.

There are several brass polishes that you can purchase from janitorial supply. They are usually a paste and will take a lot of rubbing and polishing but this should solve your problem.
When working around brass make sure your technician are masking and protecting those areas. If your using a polishing powder keep in mind that the powders contain acid and if you get close to the brass you could damage it.

We recently did work in a lobby and, although I don't think we did it, they are claiming that we tarnished the brass doors and frames. It is a good account so we are just going to take care of it ourselves. I haven't done this before and was wondering if someone knows the steps, the products, and where I could get the products. I'm in a real bind and they obviously want this done asap so I would appreciate any advise and info I could get. Thanks.

Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Bruised stoneI was wondering when reading this posting...is there a product (similar to a color enhancer, which I know wouldn't work too well in this case) that would apply a stain to the area? If the restorer could use a honing pad to open the pores and then apply a stain of some sort and then polish? I haven't seen anything like this but thought it would be nice. I know they make similar products for wood to help reduce the appearance of scratches and some wear.

you are correct. these are called stun marks and they are too deep to grind out.

I am in the middle of restoring a carrera floor. Open spaces but they had several pieces of very heavy coffee tables and stools that were metal bottoms. I was able to get the scratches out but the 'bruising' is still there. As far as I know nothing could be done about that, but I figured I would ask just in case. So does anyone know of a way to cover up the marks.
