Polishing/Sealing Brass Snare Shells

Posts: 1685 Threads: 529

Greetings,

I just picked up a nice Pacific (early run) hammered brass snare. It is in good shape, but I want to polish it to make it shine.

Is Brasso the best polish to use, or are there better ones?

Also, would you recommend sealing the shell with car wax or something else after polishing to prevent fingerprints, corrosion etc?

Thanks for your help!

My go-to on metal recently has been Quick-Glo fine. The website says it works for brass, although I can't give my own testimonial on that, but I use it on basically everything else.

It supposedly protects from fingerprints as well cause it's basically a cleaner, polish and wax all in one.

What they do is lacquer thinner for cleaning then relacquer again and done

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
