This is an excellent product. A non-messy way to maintain the luster of your brass products. I own a bullet keychain co. and I use it as a final polish on every product I ship. It also helps or retards tarnishing. Nothing will keep brass from doing so, but this product helps. The polish is contained in pieces of cotton wadding. Just break off a small piece and rub the brass till you see some transfer of tarnish(blackining). I then polish with a paper towel to remove the residue and follow with a microbiber or soft cloth. The result is worth the effort.

We store a lot of inventory and packing materials in our shed, so I'm concerned about little furry creatures making a home in there. In the 5 months since we started using these, I've seen no evidence of these unwanted guests. The smell is pretty strong, and I've noticed that I can still smell it after a month, but to be on the safe side, I'll continue to use a new one every 30 days.
