Materials Used:
- Top Brite Metal Polish in a 1.76 ounce tube
- Detail Brush
- Microfiber cloth
Instructions and Application :
1 Squeeze a very small amount of Top Brite Metal Polish in small dabs in a number of places on the silver pin.
2. You will find it easier if you use a Fuller Detail Brush to work the polish into the tooled patterned areas. You may also work in the polish with a clean soft cloth and the tip of your finger nail. Let the polish stand for a minute or so .
3. Wipe off the polish while still wet with a microfiber cloth and buff to the desired sheen. A soft cloth will also work, but we have found that the micro fiber cloths shine streak free, scratch free and shed no lint. They are also good for touch up shining with out polish or chemicals for upkeep of your fine jewelry. Time elapsed to polish this brooch pin was about 5 minutes. If you can not find Top Brite polish locally, similar polishes can be ordered online here.

Polish Guy Tip : “On any of your jewelry, consider using a soft horse hair detail brush. Old tooth brushes have bristles that are too hard for soft metals that fine jewelry are often made of.” |

I am a bassoonist and my husband & I use to collect antique phones and ice boxes which all have sensitive metal parts that need polishing. We learned about Top Bright Metal Polish through another collector.
We no longer collect phones and ice boxes, but I still play a very expensive Fox bassoon which has a great number of keys. The very fine texture of the Top Bright polish is perfect for keeping the instrument keys beautiful while not scratching or removing the metal surface from the keys. It is necessary to use q-tips in a number of small and hard to get to places and with little effort, the polish is easily applied and removed and brings the keys to a beautiful and like new shine.
