Have heard of it Leigh but never tried it. Always thought it must basically be just cloth dipped in Brasso but am probably wrong with that assertion.

Plus my brain rationalised a dipped/treated cloth must dry out and so have a shorter shelf life? By comparison my current tin of Brasso was bought in 2008 and is still going strong.
