Copper mods, do they require more maintenance than stainless?

[JamezC]

So, what do you guys use to clean your copper mods? I'm guessing I can't just use rubbing alcohol like my stainless mods?

I use Brasso, only a couple of dollars. I LOVE my copper mod but it stays home. I want a 26650 now !

So, if I use either Simichrome or Brasso do I just apply it to cloth (or paper towel) and wipe the mod down? I probably sound like a total noob but I've never actually used any type of metal-polish

I would try to stay away from brasso as it is very abrasive and engravings especially laser engraving will dissappear pretty quick mothers mag is a better option

brasso here but only with a q-tip on the contacts. I like a petina look

I guess I'll try that, then. Thanks for the advice and tips everybody!

+1 on the suggestion for Mothers mag and aluminum polish

I use it about once a week and my copper nemmy looks still looks new-ish

I'm not sure if he has an original or a clone but I picked up a clone from Ebay.

I have 1 copper mod and several brass mods. I clean them all about the same. I apply ketchup to the tubes with my fingers. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so. Wash the ketchup off in warm water and Dawn dish soap. Rinse off, and polish with a micro fiber cloth.

Too lazy to take pics and transfer them to computer then post, but I picked up a red copper stingray at my go-to b&m yesterday and was using the heck outta it last night, then it sat on my desk all day and I came home to a nice polished yet starting to get rugged natural look. In less than 24hrs. Love it.

My KSS I bought a week ago and used a few days was getting an awesome natural patina from use, then I polished it, then it started getting same natural patina again. Not really caring about its outer looks currently as it is my daily carry/go-to ATM and it hits like a champ. Not quite as good as the ray but whatever.

That said, I polished the KSS with Blue Magic as suggested by a different b&m than my usual and it worked just fine. Polished my brass 4nine at same time and the damn thing almost blinded me in daylight. Have not polished the Stingray yet.
