Cleaning your whistle

[zeerose]

For cleaning your whistle, I use Wrights brass polish. It does a fantastic job.

Your second post in a year and both of them in praise of the same product. You wouldn't be advertising on the sly, would you?

OMG, they're multiplying!

Not advertising at all. Thought I would pass it on. It works for me.

Could you post a picture? A before and after?

According to the MSDS, Wright's Brass Polish contains oxalic acid, and ground quartz as an abrasive. Which IMO makes it far too aggressive for use on an instrument finish, with the risk of both etching and scratching your instrument.

I prefer the well worn and used look of brass, to the shiny just out of the box look, especially if cleaning is a risk to the instrument, ask the maker.

Think of it as a patina instead of tarnish and embrace the look of a well played instrument.

Something that works, we all have it in our homes, and it will not scratch the metal or harm it in any way (Unless you want the tarnished look of course...); -Regular toothpaste!

Right but .... That's becoming more of a problem these days. Regular, unadulterated toothpaste is becoming less common and harder to find.

Thankfully a tube of Ipana lasts a long time (if you only use it for polishing whistles). And what ever happened to Bucky Beaver anyway?

Apologies if I sound like a cranky old man today

I wonder if the reverse applies. Can you brush your teeth with Wrights brass polish?
