Does this work on tarnished or oxidized metal? Chemically, or with a micro abrasive in it? If so, would you compare it to...1000 grit? 2000 grit? I already have plenty of chemical cleaners for copper or brass, so am looking for something that will not scratch but be more versatile for other metals. Thanks.

It's a cream. No abrasive grit in it. I can't speak of the chemical reaction though. I have used it on brass, copper, and steel so far with no problems. Even polished a shell casing from a 5-inch gun round to a high shine.

I have had good luck with removing tarnish from silver. I believe its chemically as the blue magic does not scratch or feel gritty.

This is NOT a sandpaper at all. It is a fantastic chemical that when used properly removes a huge amount of oxidation.

Hello Johnny. What I can say is that this is an excellent polishing kit for multi purposes. What I can tell you is that "I" would not use the polishing compound that is included with this kit on a Tag Heuer Watch. Why.... because I think it can be a little to rough for the watch's band. I would use instead Flitz polishing cream that can be purchased on Amazon and works extremely well and is soft on the surfaces. The compound that comes with this kit is for stage one of cleaning and removing light rust and stains and smoothing out surfaces, but after use of the compound I would still finish it with Flitz Polishing Cream that will leave you a mirror like finish. Also keep in mine that Flitz also removes light oxidation on surfaces so you get the best of both worlds. It's the same principle as with a car's finish: you wash first, then compound when needed, and then finish with a good quality polishing wax. I personal will suggest that if you are going to try this, try it on the inside of the watch's band to see what your result will be. Another idea is to buy the Flitz Polishing Cream and try it with a smooth white cloth and some cream, then rub it to the shine you desire but this will require elbow grease and time. The kit will speed up the process for sure, but don't go to fast or heavy on the speed of the tool. One other thing, when using Flitz a little goes the long way. Some people put to much and when they use the kitpolishing wheels it goes all over the place. I usually dab a little and polish, if I need to do it again I do so until satisfied. If you like YouTube has videos of Flitz Cream in action, result are incredible. Good luck.

Have not used it on Stainless Steel. Have used it thus far on a number of brass pieces as well as a large oval brass table, and it outperformed all other products I have used (Brasso, Tarnish-X, etc.). I am planning to try it on a silver tea set but have not gotten around to that yet. I can tell you this however: given its performance thus far, I would not hesitate to buy more of it.Hope this helps at least somewhat.

I have used this to clean/polish rifle and pistol brass. I used rice along with the brass and the results are good. Make sure you clean the flash holes.

I use the cream in a tube on silver and other metal. The bottle pictured here will not clean or remove tarnish. The cream is wonderful.

The directions say: " Good for gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, rubies, etc. Use silver tarnish remover CSST01 to remove silver tarnish". No tarnish remover came with mine.

I use it in non rusted metal specifically to prevent any rust and it works wonders making the metal rust proof, for as long as it stays in the metal, this supposed to be to prep before paint that way will last forever cuz is protected by the paint and metal wont rust under the paint like it happens in some cases if you dont treat the metal before paint, just my experience, it also treat rusted metal and convert rust into something like black oxide and ready fpr paint or yoy can just wire brush rusted area and then apply it works either way it is awesome, if i can i would wash my mouth with it LOL I use it in non rusted metal specifically to prevent any rust and it works wonders making the metal rust proof, for as long as it stays in the metal, this supposed to be to prep before paint that way will last forever cuz is protected by the paint and metal wont rust under the paint like it happens in some cases if you dont treat the metal before paint, just my experience, it also treat rusted metal and convert rust into something like black oxide and ready fpr paint or yoy can just wire brush rusted area and then apply it works either way it is awesome, if i can i would wash my mouth with... » Read More I use it in non rusted metal specifically to prevent any rust and it works wonders making the metal rust proof, for as long as it stays in the metal, this supposed to be to prep before paint that way will last forever cuz is protected by the paint and metal wont rust under the paint like it happens in some cases if you dont treat the metal before paint, just my experience, it also treat rusted metal and convert rust into something like black oxide and ready fpr paint or yoy can just wire brush rusted area and then apply it works either way it is awesome, if i can i would wash my mouth with it LOL « Show Less

Please disregard my earlier response. As far as I can tell Nev 'R Dull uses chemicals, not abrasives. I use it on cymbals and chrome all of the time and I've yet to see any scratching like you can see with even 0000 steel wool. . In the Navy they use it for all "bright work" brass and the like. It's great stuff but use it in a well ventilated area.

Are you asking if I have used this to clean brass? The answer is no. There are cleaners specially made to clean brass. I suggest you try one of them.

It's great on copper but that's all I've used it on. Did you read the container? They usually say what you can use it on.

I agree with the previous posts, but I would agree with the one that says start with a finer grit not the 1000 - if your finish is thin a coarser grit can go through it and ruin your best friend. I am not familiar with the nitro-li have used it building with Tru-Oil with wonderful results and used it to do some repair work on older guitars but with great caution.

Hi, this product is more like Softscrub, but has a stronger chemical base that allows it to remove tarnish & oxidation. It will not get rid of scratches. A very minor scratch might be removed with silver polish. For a deeper scratch, I would suggest trying jeweler's polish or even taking it to a jeweler.

I don't exactly know that finish you're talking about. I do know that I've used these sheets on a cyanoacrylate finish I out on wooden jewelry and it works amazingly well. My advice is to test a small patch with one of the very high grit numbers (maybe around a 7,000'grit or above) and see what happens. With my finish the lower grits were necessary to go through so that by the 12,000 grit it shined back everything to an ultra high gloss. I'd give it a shot. Good luck.

The MAAS metal polish was able to cut through and remove very old buildups of dirt and grime on several metals including tin, nickle, and copper plate; other products I tried did not do well on all of these different metals. It took very little polish to accomplish the job with little effort. Eight weeks have passed since I finished this project and the metals show no signs of dulling, or tarnish; this cannot be said for other products I've used on other projects. This tells me that the polish protects in addition to cleaning and polishing.

Yes. The best metal cleaner and polisher I've ever used, for silver, brass, bronze, gold -THE BEST!

Since writing this review, I have switched to Tarnex, a similar cleanser excellent results for silver polish available at CVS, and Home depot. Give it a shot. I make jewelry and wear alot of it and use Tarnex all the time. It was recommended by the jeweler who made custom jewelry and did my soldering in town. Good luck. Hagertys used to make a black bottle silver polish that was excellent -very thick paste. Tarnex is thinner and very effective more so than Hagerty's in my book. Let me know what you think.
