Maintenance & cleaning of cast metal lettering & cast signage: advice from Behrends Bronze, a top quality foundry & and custom casting company. Wonder "how to maintain cast metal letters" or "how to clean cast plaques" (or other signage, nameplates & plaques in bronze, brass, aluminum & stainless steel)?

Cast metal lettering, supplied by Behrends Bronze, have a clear acrylic metal lacquer protective coating on brushed finishes, or an automotive acrylic lacquer finish.

Provided that this finish is not damaged during the installation process, or from subsequent acts of vandalism, many year of service can be expected, without any maintenance required.

Offset mounting the lettering allows rain to keep the letter faces reasonable clean. If periodic cleaning is desired, use a mild detergent with a soft cloth or sponge.

NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS, ABRASIVES OR METAL CLEANING SOLUTIONS as damage to the protective coating will result.

Any wiping motion should be done with the grain of the letter (for brushed finishes) to minimize the visual effect of any minor surface scratching of the lacquer coating.
