I need A Chemical To Turn Patina Copper Back To Bright Penny Color


I need A Chemical To Turn Patina Copper Back To Bright Penny Color for a customer that I just delivered a proposal to today.

They have a few special requests and a big honking job to look forward to, so I would like to find out what to spray or wipe on the bay window roof, standing seam Copper Metal Panels to bring back that original shiny luster.

What can I use and where can I purchase it?

Ed

A few cans of brasso and a few barrells of elbow grease

call Aaron and have him spray it with copper colored polyurea.

A scotchbrite pad then brass polish with a LOT of elbow grease. Works for me on brass/copper armour parts so should work for copper roofing as well.
