My mothers grave marker is made of copper, it looks kind of bad from weather, water etc, can you tell me if Wrights Copper Cleaner is ok to use?

My mothers grave stone is made of copper or brass. Can I use copper cleaner on it? It is tarnished from wind, rain, weather etc.

I am trying to refinish my brother's bronze namemarker on his grave. It has had a coat of some type of paint put on it in the past and I've used Acetone [link is to product info at Rockler] to remove most of that...still trying to get it all cleaned off. I want to know how to get the dark glossy color back to the finish. Do I paint this again with another type of paint or is there a special finish I can use to achieve this ?

I would like to refinish or clean my parents' bronze grave marker. It is almost 30 years old. The cemetery office claims there's no product available in Hawaii.

Ed. note: This question is a little repetitive of some previously asked and answered questions. So you might look at letters 21436, 21953, 22020, 18885 to see if they prove helpful. Good luck.

What do you use to clean bronze cemetery markers. I am told at the funeral home, nothing will clean it ,has to be refinished. Very expensive!! Hope someone can give me a method. Markers are over 30 years old. Thanks for any help.
