HomaxPRODUCTS 123100 Bronze Fine Wool Pad, 3-Pack

Does not leave minute particles that will rust like steel wool. Since it is softer than steel wool, it will not scratch metals harder than bronze. "Boaters" that have a lot of chrome exterior fittings use this to maintain their bright work. Auto enthusiasts use this to clean their windscreens. You must clean your windscreen of "windshield" as the yanks call it, before using this on the windscreen. The purpose of this is to remove the find layer of oil that collects on the windscreen which all cars and trucks accumulate and eventually make the windscreen "smear" when you first turn on the wipers. It is not to be used on any painted surface. Motorcyclists also can use this on any Chrome over metal to clean up the chrome, whereas using 0000 steel wool "sheds" minute steel wool particles and can also produce minute scratches in the chrome plating.Since it is bronze it should not scratch chrome. Selecting the fine grade of bronze wool is the best choice for expensive chrome over metal on cars and motorcycles. I do not use this over chrome over plastic nor would I be willing to take a chance to do so. This "Fine" grade of Bronze wool can also be used on house windows to remove any residue like paint spatter rather than using a razor blade. It should never be used on any tinted film on windows or low emmissivity coatings on house windows.

Works well for my projects.

We used these to clean some antique knives. Steel wool is too abrasive for that kind of job. The steel bronze (&/or copper) will not leave micro scratches which can damage delicate metals. These did the job. The only issue is how quickly they disintegrated. I can't say whether that is a bad thing though as I have never used this item before so it may just be par for the course. Keep that in mind when purchasing.

I use this bronze wool in outdoor places where I want to plug a hole where undesirable creatures want to enter. It doesn't rust and it lasts a very long time.

This is exactly the product for which I was looking. I shall be putting it to use in a somewhat unorthodox manner; I teach a self-contained geometry class to high school girls who have learning disabilities. One of the things I have noticed is that they have trouble translating what they learn in the subject to the real world, so I designed a class in which we are applying what we are learning by building miniature furniture in detail, using everything we learn in geometry to design and build what I teach. Aside from being a doctoral candidate in Special Education, I'm a master cabinetmaker, so I know how to teach carpentry. The steel wool is to be used to rub down the items we build after giving it several coats of varnish in order to achieve a very smooth and professional finish. This steel wool is absolutely the perfect quality for that purpose and will not make uneven scratches in the finish of the wood surface on which we are presently working. It will help to smooth the wood perfectly to receive its final coats of varnish. As I said, a bit of an unorthodox use of the product, but that's why I bought it, and its quality is just that for which I was looking. If you are into woodworking, you'll love this bronze wool.

Great product and arrived quickly. I would buy more products from this vendor.

My expectations were not met and I was disappointed. The amount you get is rather skimpy. I would not purchase again. The quality seems ok.

purchased to clean off melted boot from my Harley exhaust. worked a treat without damaging the chrome. don't use dry, just spray with windex/wd40 or water and rub gently for desired results.

Great product. Just what my husband needed for removing rust with out destroying the project he’s working on.

UN PEU CHER, un peu long à avoir, mais efficace...

Very happy with purchase, item received by expected date. I am restoring an old English oak bureau and needed bronze wool as steel wools particles blacken the wood. I must say it seems ridiculous that I have to order from the good old U.S. of A to pay an unextortionate price for this item!

Did a fantastic job of cleaning the film of carbon deposit off the inside of my exhaust tips

A very fine metal wool. It works like a charm and so far has done everything I have used it for.
