Our Quality chrome products are virtually maintenance free. However, deposits will accumulate especially on external fittings. We therefore recommend regular cleaning with a soft cloth and non-abrasive wax polish. This will ensure the original appearence is maintained.
These products have an advanced vaccum treated process and we can offer a full 25 year replacement guarantee with the exclusive Stainless Brass finish. The technology involved in this process renders this surface impervious to damage in normal use including oxidation, wear and abrasion. All lacquered brass items require regular cleaning with non-abrasive wax polish. We recommend the removal of surface dirt by dusting with a soft cloth, stubborn stains can be removed with the use of white spirit, similar spirit based products or a quality non-abrasive car wax polish. These products are lacquered and should be treated in the same way as brass. As the bronze is an applied finish we would expect it to wear over time, enchancing the antique effect.
Our products are protected by the most advanced lacquer available and under normal circumstances should give many years service. They should be cleaned with a cloth moistened with soapy water or alternatively wiped over with a soft cloth with beeswax or a gentle non-abrasive quality car wax polish. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE ANY FORM OF METAL CLEANER OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. However, after a period of time the lacquer coating, especially on external fittings, can suffer a possible breakdown. Therefore, the life of the lacquer is beyond the manufacturers control and cannot be guaranteed. When the lacquer coating has broken down, remove the brass fittings and coat using a soft brush with acetone thinner e.g. 'Nitramores' according to the manufacturer's instructions. Completely dry the product using a soft cloth and
metal polish, such as 'Brasso' or 'Duraglit'. At this stage the product can either be re-lacquered or polished as and when required. A fresh coat of lacquer may be applied, but we strongly recommend that, especially for external use, you should leave the item unlacquered.
