Everbrite Starter Kit (16 Oz.) Clear, Protective Coating for Metal

The kit restored my oxidized/dull brown bronze mermaid fountain to better than new! It’s amazing to experience Everbrite easily removing years of dull oxidation to reveal the original bronze luster. It’s only been three weeks on, but so far, there’s been no reduction in the brilliant shine—which Everbrite states will last for five years or so. It’s absolutely VITAL that the somewhat complicated procedures described in the instructions are followed meticulously and in the proper order. This isn’t a project for the impatient. You will need a few common chemicals (e.g. lacquer thinner, isopropyl alcohol) that aren’t included in the kit. The reward is worth the attention to detail. Wear the gloves included in the kit when applying the Everbrite finish, or you will spend a long time trying to remove it from your hands. To achieve my desired result, it was vital to purchase not only the Everbrite finish itself, but the copper restorer that’s also included in this kit, as bronze and brass are alloys comprised of approximately 90% copper. Included below are before and after photos. Now that she’s cleaned up, I’m thinking of asking her out…if she’ll have me.

The product works really well for sealing rusted metal. I have decorative metal work (including metal posts holding up an overhang). I needed to seal the metal to stop the rusting process and to make the metal “touchable” so that you don’t get rust on your hands or clothes. It works wonderfully. The only caveat is that it will darken the rust color. It still has a rust look to it, but now it is darker…it still looks great but know if you use it for rusted metal applications it will darken the rust. To be honest, I think it looks even better and more “finished”. And now we can touch the metal and no rust gets on the hands. I would recommend this product.

I had bottom 2 panels replaced on my 17 yr old garage door top 3 were all faded. I used the cleaner that was in the kit and a brush to clean the door. I let it dry a couple hours and then applied everbrite with a natural bristle brush to the faded panels only and Im very happy with the results and was real easy to do.

Outside residential black lighting lamps (4) looked aged and faded. This is a multi-step process but lamps looked nice shiny black when I was finished. It's been a year and they still look good.

Great product - take your time prepping. But the applicator pads in this kit can disintegrate quickly. Use your own pads, or else you may end up with fabric flakes in the coating.

Follow directions and apply slowly, making sure you don't leave bubbles. I hired a couple of high school kids to prep and coat a black powdercoated deck railing. Looks as good (actually better) than new. If the finish lasts, which others say it does, it will be one of the best products I have used. Not cheap, but so far worth it.

I included before and after photos. It really did a great job, and the shine has lasted.
