From ivillage.com:

"Every job is easier when you have the right tool. For your precious metals, Fierman raves about soft, cotton Cape Cod polishing cloths. They’re reusable and are pre-moistened with just the right amount of polish. “You don’t have to use goop so there’s no mess...."

How long do the Cape Cod Polishing Cloths last?
This is a question that comes up from time to time from some of our customers. While it is difficult to determine the exact longevity of the cloths, we can safely say that one cloth will polish a silverware service for eight or a brass tuba!

There are two questions we are frequently asked at Cape Cod Polish regarding brass:
1. Should I lacquer my brass to protect it?
2. How do I get lacquer off brass?

These two questions are very telling. Just like any protective coating, lacquer doesn't last forever, and it doesn't wear off evenly.
