Harold Import 1734 "Red Bear" Copper & Brass Polish

I have been using this product for 20+ years. It is very inexpensive and it really works. It is simple to use. You mix the powder with water making a thin paste. Spread the paste on the copper and watch it work immediately! Rinse with water to find beautiful shiny copper. No scrubbing, no elbow grease. Try it! You will love it.

This is the greatest metal polish I've ever found - and I've tried them all. Easiest to use, it's a paste, not a liquid, and rinses off easily. Copper polished with it stays polished longer than other products. Excellent for the stainless steel lining in copper pots. Although I use Gorham for day-to-day on silver, I've used Red Bear for difficult stains on silver and Armatale-like alloys with equally excellent results. Greatest thing since canned beer.

The best product, by far, for cleaning copper!

My mom asked me to buy her this copper polish. She had used up her tin which she bought at a local kitchen shop years ago, but the shop closed and I couldn't find the polish anywhere locally. This is the same stuff but now it is packaged in a plastic jar instead of a tin. It works great and all of Mom's copper is very shiny. She is happy :)

Works well to clean brass

I've never used used Red Bear on copper pots, since I don't have any, but it's the best thing since sliced bread for stainless steel pots & skillets. And I don't use a sponge or cloth. I use a damp Scotch Brite pad & it works like magic. Rinse the pot & re-wash with Dawn. When dry, it looks brand new. So you one-star reviewers, don't throw this stuff away ...... just save it for your stainless steel. :-)

We have a large brass table top with a repeating intaglio design. This cleaner removes the tarnish from the surface and leaves the indented part of the designs black. Creates a lovely look.

This is simply the easiest brass polish to use ever. Just a little of this powder on a damp cloth wipes the tarnish and water spots away with very little rubbing, and certainly no rubbing hard. When our local hardware store stopped carrying it, we had grim thoughts of either replacing our faucets or going back to those hard-work products to keep the brass sparkling. Thank goodness it is still available on the internet. Try it; you will like it -- and, as a bonus, because you need to use such a small amount to do the job, the jar of it lasts a long, long time.
