NEED a Copper/Bronze Color Restorer and Bright Shiny Finish

Q. I'm looking for a dip product to clean and polish copper and bronze. I know there is such a product. But, I'm unable to find the source. I was told it's called "Copper Brite" (Bright?), comes in a powdered form, and mixes with hot water.

I clean raw "float" copper and polish it for various products. I first strip the copper with acid. This leaves it an odd color. I need a product that will restore the bright shiny copper color and I'd also appreciate your suggestions for a sealer.

Thanks much!
