    Probably best to use the product Brasso, it’s made for it. I bought my bottle from Coles decades ago, but probably available at the hardware store otherwise.

  • Is it a trophy plaque or memorial plaque?

  • its memorial .

    • memorial plaques at the cemetery is made of bronze, beeswax can give you its shine(more like satin finish) back, but not as good as full refurb

      ps i used to work at the company who makes them

  • inside or outside?

    To put shine on brass you need to polish it.
    To keep the brass from tarnishing you use the oil or wax.
