Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
Brebbia Stem Polish works well for cleaning up lightly oxidized vulcanite pipe stems. If a stem has turned slightly gray, green, or brown, this product can fix it up. Putting a bit of the polish on a paper towel and buffing the pipe stem by hand for ... Read More
a couple of minutes seems to give the best result. I've never had this product leave a scratch or fail to clean up a slightly discolored stem, so it has become an essential part of my cleaning kit. Read Less

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
It brought back stems without a power buffer, saving the pipes logo. It did far better than I thought possible!!!

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
I have a number of vulcanite stems (I smoke mostly pre-1980 pipes), and I use this stem polish to help restore them to a shiney, "like new" luster. It does take some elbow grease to work it into really badly oxidized stems, but the results ... Read More
are always well worth it. Note: I usually soak the vulcanite stems in Oxyclean for 24 hours before using this polish. I've done this dozens of times, and again - this stuff yields great results. Read Less
Awesome stuff

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
I ordered because I got two Brebbias and thinking well a matchng wax, right?
Well, I have used it on Briar mainly, smooth, sandblasted and rusticated (brebias, chacoms and off brand pipes even Honduran Rossewood, with amazing results.

hat smooth, sandblasted and rusticated should have different waxes as one leaves white spots specially rusticated finnishing, but with this product, my pipes look and stay plain great!!! Read Less

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
There may be similar products out there that I am not aware of. All I can say is this stuff is remarkable!
The TINIEST amount cleans up vulcanite, removes light scratches on acrylic, even polished nickel parts on my Peterson pipes. Takes a bit of... Read More
effort but no other polishing product I have tried has come close. Read Less
Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
Had an estate pipe I recently restored with what I thought was irreparable oxidation on the stem. This stuff is like magic, it really impressed me. Works on the briar just as well - it took years of caked soot off the rim of the bowl with just a litt... Read More
le effort (to be honest, I used a Dremel tool with a buffing wheel on the rim in conjunction with this polish. What can I say, I was a Teamster for years - “work smarter, not harder” is like the 11th commandment, might as well be a constitutional amendment.) Read Less
Didnt work for me.

This didn’t really do much. I tried to use it on my green stems and they’re still green.
Good product

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
Used on lightly oxydized stems. Rubbed a little with a paper towel. For probably 3 min. Served its purpose.
Serves its purpose well

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
I use this to smooth the surface and clean stems that are faded, filthy or just plain nasty. It does well and a little goes a long way. For stems that don't need this kind of cleaning, obviously chap stick works well.
Not as good as advertised

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
It will do the job on fairly unoxidized stems, but is inadequate for "particularly bad stems" even with a buffing wheel after two applications...not worth the money
Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
Gritty substance so I don't doubt it will remove oxidation but as a polish it just left a nice haze on my pipe stem. I will stick to chap stick and olive oil.
disappointing product

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Brebbia Stem Polish (7.5 ml)
Well it works, kind of. It's very pricey and I've gotten better results with inexpensive solutions that I've put together from safe non-toxic items i have in the house. Only recommended for those who have no other solution to nasty oxidised Vulcanite... Read More
pipe stems. Perhaps if paired with the more pricey Obsidian oil it may be more effective. Read Less
