Thread: cleaning brass before clear coat.

  1. #1

    Question cleaning brass before clear coat.

    Ok, I'm new to the buffing stuff and have read a ton. I have the piece cleaned polished and buffed and am ready to spray the clear coat. But as much as I’ve read I haven't found any advice on cleaning the brass after it's been buffed. I would think the wrong cleaner and your back to buffing.

    So my question is what to use to clean the brass before I spay the clear coat?

    P.S. I've already made the mistake of not cleaning before spraying the clear coat. What a disaster.

    Thanks
    Rick

    when in doubt polish it out/ why replace it when you can refinish it

    Ok, what kind of break cleaner are we talking about here? I've used wheel cleaner that is suppose to remove brake dust. But I've never used a brake cleaner.
