Cleaning Brushed Copper Mods?

[tipdripper]

Are there any copper polishes or cleaners that will restore the new look of a brushed finish copper mod?

I use BRASSO for brass and copper,works great

No personal experience here but this is what I have read:

A mild metal polish, like Simichrome or even milder, Nevr-Dull, will remove the tarnish. Just keep it off the areas where you want to keep the patina.

Also, check out youtube for videos.

Whatever you do copper and brass will begin to tarnish as soon as you finish polishing them.

A clear coat of laquor (nether I or my computer know how to spell it) will help but it is soft and will scratch and the mod will tarnish where it scratches and you will have to take all the coating off to polish it again.

For me it is more trouble than it is worth and I have learned to embrace the patina. Except on the threads where I do clean and then use noalox to help the conductivity.

Cleaning time..
1. Submerge in Tarn-X
2. Coat with Brasso
3. Polish off the Brasso coating
4. Rub vigorously with a small wad of Nevr-Dull until the entire surface turns black
5. Polish black residue off of surface to reveal bright finish
6. Reassemble
7. Vape the F%€K out of it!!

Before you go to great efforts... wipe it down with plain 'ol ketchup, let sit for 10 min then rinse with cold water. And skip the noalox, not needed with copper.

Thanks everyone. I have experience with copper mods but mostly clones that are a polished finish and none have had a brushed finish. I use mothers mag and aluminum Polish on them and it works wonders. Best for making polished mods super shiny and kinda slows down the patina. I have had an Oros mod about a month now and as damn expensive as it was I didn't want to risk ruining the brushed finish on it with the mothers. I really like brushed finishes cuz they aren't as much of a fingerprint magnet so I just wanted to see what everyone else uses on their brushed mods and know for a fact it will keep the brushed finish.

Tarn-X would be my recommendation...Rinse, dry and vape on.
