Thread: polishing the shiny bits

Hi tanii51.

I iniated the original post, and yes, I think the wire brushes I used were brass coated. The plating seems to stand up well to use, and stay on.

Hope this helps.

All the brass coating does is inhibit rust, a solid brass wheel is less damaging to the surface, you can buy them here
