Rub N Brite
Rated 5.00 out of 5
$20.00
Years ago, David Rubin made one of the finest metal polishes available—Rubin Brite. Unlike many polishes, it also protected the mirror finish it produced with a heavy coating of hard carnauba wax, which lasted for years.
Like Rubin Brite, my polish polishes rapidly to a mirror finish and leaves a hard, protective coating of carnauba wax. It is an excellent polish for un-lacquered brass, silver, copper, pewter, chrome, nickel, aluminum, stainless steel and jewelry. It is quite rewarding to see the mirror finish come to life during the final treatment with a soft cloth and biscuit flour or starch. This is a real solution for those who loved Rubin Brite and have longed for a replacement polish.
