CARE AND CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR BRASS PARTS
Cleaning Instructions
- Verify part is dry and free of dirt or debris.
- Place a small amount of Harley-Davidson® Chrome Clean & Shine on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab.
- Using light pressure, rub the brass parts with the microfiber cloth. For hard to reach places or grooves, use the detailing swab.
Obtaining a Bright Finish
Brass parts will naturally age and darken with time. If a bright brass finish is preferred, place some Harley-Davidson Bare Metal Polish on a microfiber cloth and lightly rub on the brass parts until they reach the desired brightness.
Slowing the Natural Aging Process
To slow the aging process of the brass parts, place a small amount of Harley-Davidson Glaze Poly Sealant on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab, and lightly rub on the parts until the sealant has soaked in.
Precautions
- Use of non-recommended cleaning, polishing and protective products will result in the removal of the aged finish from the brass parts.
- Prolonged contact with certain items (hands, gloves, boots, dust, etc.) and exposure to the elements will also alter all surface finishes and is NOT considered a defect.
- Avoid cleaning parts with abrasive and aggressive chemicals and abrasive cleaning pads.
- Avoid ammoniated products and bleach.
- Prolonged exposure to water will alter the brass finish. Wipe down parts after contact with water.
- Excess rubbing may lighten the surface appearance of the part.
