The silver cleaner formulation is meant for use with the more noble metals such as silver/gold/platinum, etc. Most brass has some percentage of zinc and the zinc will not react well to Tarn-X if left in contact for too long. Some pitting and discoloration may happen if left on too long..... If you do decide to use it be sure to rinse the brass very well with water and dry thoroughly. This will stop all chemical reaction between Tarn-X and any less noble metals...... Jim Bryant (FL)
