It comes in a big dark blue can is basically a giant beige cotton ball
soaked in a solution.  It's easier to use and works faster, IMO.

Besides, Brasso gives me Army flashbacks!  Brrrr!

Just thought I'd share.

I've just started using brasso too and I use a dry cloth to scrub the • printings

can't scratch plastc even if you go firmly, and, well, go firmly :-)

But testing on a small area is always best.

I've recently bought NBA sets too in discounts at local Wal-Mart.  25$CDN • for
the Ultimate NBA stadium.  Neat!
