- Résumé
- It is suspected by some conservators that commercial all-purpose metal polishes leave behind residues on metal objects that can form unacceptable surface appearances, yet they are still used by conservation labs. The consequences of using a polishing product that leaves problematic residues is the loss of original metal surface and engraved, etched and chased details each time the object is polished. This study examined the organic components of four commonly used commercial all-purpose metal polishes, Autosol, Flitz, Brasso and Never Dull, for ingredients that could be a source of problematic residues. Samples of the polishes were analyzed with Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and all four were found to contain non-volatile materials that are used in lubricating oils.
