Your brass case is finished with the highest
quality lacquer to prevent tarnishing. Care must be taken to protect the lacquer coating.
All fingerprints should be wiped off immediately. The case should be cleaned regularly
with a soft cloth. We have found that a combination of dust and other airborne pollution,
when mixed with moisture created by humidity, will destroy the finish. Never use a brass
cleaner on the case as this will immediately damage the lacquer coating. If any water,
particularly sea water, comes in contact with the lacquered finish, remove it immediately.
The lacquer coating on this this unit will eventually deteriorate, but with proper care
the coating will last for many years with no noticeable deterioration. We recommend the
use of a "Solar Fan Vent" in your boat. It will not only prolong the life of
your instrument, but also cushions, woodwork and everything else on board.
When and if your instrument requires polishing, the following procedures are
recommended:
- The lacquer coating on your instrument can be removed with acetone, preferably a mild
solution such as fingernail polish remover.
- After this has been done you may then polish the brass with a paste, cream or semi-liquid
brass cleaner. Although Brasso is a fine product for some types of brass, it is not
recommended for our cases.
If you do not wish to attempt this job yourself, you may look in your local yellow pages
for "metal refinishers". Most will do small jobs including machine polishing and
re-lacquering.
