How to maintain a squamata with brass plates ?

[jvrjenivs]

Brasso will leave a green residue to your plates, which I personally don't like. Also, Brasso is a very temporary cleaning agent. It does work for some time, but not for that long. You better don't use it, as it will also work on the backing of your squamata. What I do is just use very find steelwool to clean it by hand (yeah, that's a very hard and long job, but as your regularly wipe your sqaumata with a piece of steelwool it would hold it clean. Anyway, that's just what I do, other opinions are also welcome for me.
