You have to be careful Polishing powders affect brass in many
ways
Many brash foot plates are lacquered and what actually happens
is that you stripped the lacquer off, that happened to us last week,
If its solid brass, you can do it, but it’s the same job
as polishing, you need to mask the area as the black residue will fly
everywhere, and then you just use a white buffing wheel polishing edge which is
what we use in fabrication to polish the edges of a granite or marble. The
white wax stick we use to polish marble edges works well on brass too. If it
has a grain all you have to do is make sure you follow the grain. If you
have never done it I would , if I could , unscrew on door plate and practice on
it , or on any other brass. Very simple job.

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.

Lorne,
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 stone
I 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

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.
