Very nice, it is always nice to see someone spread the knowledge on to take care of one’s equipment, plus it makes one feel better about themselves and their horns
Nice job. I use PlastX. It's meant for plastic, and so it's extremely gentle and won't thin the brass. I also use it on my eyeglass lenses. The Flitz liquid is fine though. The Flitz paste is a bit abrasive.
I have used the wax you mention on raw brass. It worked very well for me. After cleaning, I would use a clean cloth and apply a small amount of the wax and rub it in. Allow to dry then lightly buff to bring back shine. Wax is not cheap, but does the job.
I recently got my hands on my first F trigger trombone and it kind of looks like the is exept it also has some scratches so I was just curious if this method would still work?
Quick question, did you oil the brass after using the brass polish? Recently got a beautiful old trumpet. I've used Flitz brass polish, just never tried to freshen up a horn with it
I'm sure it would if you have an unlacquered saxophone, though you may want to talk to a saxophone expert in case there are some differences in the approach.

Hello, Bob! I have the same trumpet and I had it lacquered by a professional repairman.
Much nicer and it will never tarnish again!
Flitz is amazing. Not just for metal, but for vulcanized rubber, acrylic, and any hard material that has experienced oxidation or discoloration.
Thanks❤
You really help me.
I’ ll encourage you.
Us new trumpeters
Watching keenly in Kampala. Thanks mate.

I'll try it
Tysm, can't wait for my YAMAHA to look good again!
I have a few raw brass horns and I've noticed that all of them smell of raw brass very strongly. Is this with all raw brass horns or just older ones?
Cool, but what about protecting it afterwards, and trying to let the polished look stay a bit longer? Renaissance wax?

A silicone gun cloth works well.

Does removing the laquer make the tone improve?
where to but the Flint's metal polish?
What do I use to remove tarnish from my silver plated bach trumpet?
what about for a lacquer trumpet

You got any tips for a silver trumpet???
Hagerty silver polish was recommended to me…. It's not harsh and works well.
thanks!!!!!!!
Das this work for sax 🎷 ?
