Are you using real brass polish or the 'Never-dull-very-expensive-museum-polish'?

At Cod we use the Never dull, since it doesn't polish away the copper and brass over time. Pipes get awfully thin after a lot of polishing, and the text on name plates disappears before you know it...
We use Brasso for the most part and Tim Calvert got this new cleaner that works great(dont recall the name of it). It may be never dull. It is expensive. I do remember Tim stating that. What helps is putting a coat of auto wax on it after you polish. This greatly reduces finger marks and dulling. Visitors tend to touch shiny things. Lucky for me my youngest daughter likes to polish the brass. Save everyone time to do other things.
