@@Grahamsgarage1 Thanks! I got awesome results with the Flitz! Glad I found your video. I also like using Wright's Copper Cream on my antique brass too. It works great on unglazed brass. It's much better than Brasso.
Great video, Sir! I've restored some railroad locomotive bells over the years (my latest restoration is shown on RUclips). I wasn't aware of Flitz spray until I saw your posting. Based on your recommendation I bought a bottle for the restoration of my 1905 Knight and Thomas copper fire extinguisher. The spray worked great but after numerous applications I couldn't remove all of the tarnish. I had to resort to my electric palm grip sander for the really stubborn areas. I started with 600 grit sandpaper and worked my way down to 3,000 grit. Next I sanded it with fine grade steel wool followed by my automotive orbital polisher (Meguiar's 105 Ultra-Cut Compound). I finished the project with Flitz paste. The final result was excellent! (Oh, I used Greased Lightning cleaner for the hose... that worked great). Flitz should send you a couple of cases of their products for your video! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Peter, sounds like you really had a really bad one to clean up. Your restoration sounds awesome!! I will check out your video. Thanks again for the pointers too!!
I found the smaller version of a pyrene extinguisher about to be thrown out somewhere so I rescued it,it looks tatty and I have been looking for ways to restore it,this video has been a massive help,thanks!
I have an old fire extinguisher like yours. From NY 👍🏽 I went to Ace Hardware Walmart a paint store and Lowe's. No one had this product. I need it BC I have a bad neck so I was looking for easy. Guess I'll hafta look on line 😏
That's a bummer, I just looked and found it on Walmart's website. It popped up cheaper on Amazon though. Good luck and hope you like what you see when all done.
Thank you for making this video I have the same fire extinguisher and wanted to restore it as well. I would not have done the project without this spray! My extinguisher is so oxidized it is dark green! Had so scrub a while but nothing like other products I had tried. Incredible stuff!
nice job, the earlier comment saying you devalued the extinguisher, he is way off. A cleaned and polished one typically sell for 3 to 4 times the cost of an unfinished one, so keep up the good work, hope to bring mine back to life after watching your video!
I just purchased two red star model 303 fire extinguishers that were converted to lamps. (Got a REALLY good deal!!) BOTH have what appear to be original hoses... Is there any type of conditioner that you might recommend?
Hi Andrew what I normally do is wash the hoses down good with soap and water and then use a automotive rubber conditioner/protectant by a company called 303. I usually put it on every 6 months or so. Thanks and great find the lamps, they sound cool!!
Have an old Extinguisher just pulled it out of storage. Polished it many years ago but looking sad now . I use Flitz Polish on my motorcycle its great just wondering about the Flitz Tarnish remover would Tarnex work just as well ??????
I was interested in buying and restoring one of these, and I was wondering if all of them can be returned to this amazing shine and luster. Or are some too far beyond hope? And how can you tell, just looking at photos (like on ebay), if they will never be able to be shined up like yours? Thanks!
Wow sounds like you got a great find. It should not have a clear coat to it unless someone added it to it. Did you try to polish it? If you see black comming off there is no clear coat and should shine up for you. If there is a clear coat the thing that works best is aircraft grade stripper. You can find it online for sale, just paint it on and it spould start peel off for you. Best of luck and hope you can bring it out like mine.
If this is used on something that gets touched occasionally do you recommend a clear lacquer after buffing? Or is it easier to just rebuff with the compound periodically? I am making a coin bank from a old brass po box door. I dont imagine it will be touched quite as much as it was at one time, but it will be touched occasionally. XD
I end up just pulling them off and then looking for another one that will fit it to complete the entire look. But I do have some that still dont have any on them, a work in progress. I also hit up ebay and craigslist looking as well. Good luck..
Well first off as for the hose I say hit up flee markets, they are hard to come by. You may want to try to make up something on your own to fit it. The clanking inside is the canister thats normal, and the stuff that came out is left over chemical that happens sometimes. Thanks for checking out my video good luck.
Thanks for checking out the video. If you want to keep it looking the same but just want to protect it from further weathering etc. I would recommend there Faucet Wax +. I use that product on my oil rubbed bronze faucet (it does a great job protecting it against water spots and more but keeps the finish looking the same). Thanks and I hope this helps. www.flitz.com/faucet-wax-plus/
Graham. Just found one of these at Goodwill for $10 (same Elmyra, NY model). Thanks for the video. Do you have any advice on loosening the tops. We have undone the hose but and dumped the liquid inside into a plastic jug. Thanks
Hi, thanks for checking out the video. Thats awsome you picked up one for $10. What I have done to loosen these up is heat up the metal so it contracts, take a small torch and run it around the area for a few seconds and then with gloves on start trying to loosen it (sometimes it takes a few times). I think this should do the trick for ya!! Thanks
Do these sell well? There are three in my area that I'm thinking about picking up. I just thought they were kind of cool. Also, that looks amazing... At first I was like, nooooo what's he doing! It looks so much better though.
Sorry I should add it does as long as there is not a clear coat on the finish (you would have to strip that off first). If you put it on and don't see any black residue like the video when polishing/cleaning it has a clear coat).
Hi Tom, I am sorry to say I have never done anything like that. I usually look on the internet for a new plate. I am sure you could have it welded and then smoothed out to help the look. Sorry I couldnt be of more help, best of luck.
i used the same two products as you, the exact same way. But after i noticed darker spots that looked like copper but wouldn't come off! Any idea on what that would be, and how i would remove it?
Hi Deborah, what it sounds like to me is that you may have used to much of the product. No worries, you will need some more elbow greese and a rough cloth (paper towel or terry cloth towel). Keep rubbing on the finish and you will see alot of black on your cloth. Keep polishing and flipping the cloth over until you see no black on it. Thats it, you should see it shinning up. Thanks and I hope this helps.
I have one I'm about to restore. I will try to find Flitz. How do you clean the inside. I took it to the car wash and tried to clean the inside.. It worked a little. Do you keep the insides of the tank?
Hi John, I usually don't clean them out since no one looks in them. I did have one that smelled bad though in the past and I used the Brass & Copper Cleaner as seen in this video. I sprayed it in there and let it sit and then added dawn dish soap and hit it with a pressure washer. Looked better and took care of the smell. Thanks and hope this helps.
What I do is try to drain it out if I can some how by turning upside down if there is any leaks it will come out little bt little after a few days and then I go to town cleaning it. If the chamber still looks good I usually just leave it in there since I dont have anyone that screws around with them after they are restored. I hope this helps you out but if you hear any other ideas I am all ears. Thanks
Hey thank you for this incredibly helpful video. i have a question. i just bought a copper and brass fire extinguisher with a large gash in the side by the plaque. just wondering if it is semi-repairable or weldable or can a plumber fix it with flux or something? it does not need to be perfect but it is a 5 inch gash (looks like they did it to take it out of service) and it ruins its looks.
Thanks so much for your comments. Yes I did see a place sometime back that did recharge them but I haven't looked for awhile. I just leave mine empty just decoration. Well good luck and I hope yours turn out great for ya.
Hi I just got an old antique fire extinguisher and it seems there is a bit of liquid left in it. How do you empty them out? I have the big twist wheel like the one in your video, can you give me some tips? Or does it matter to empty it out? I do plan to sell it. Thanks for your time.
Hi I would just leave it in there (I do). It wont effect it and will not mess up any of the patina (if you are looking to keep that for resale value, some people like to polish them and some like them orginal). Thanks and I hope this helps.
Yes they do, I say check them out first on the computer to see what they maybe worth. Alot are not worth alot, more for your looks than anything. Good luck.
Yep I have heard that too, its really a personal preference. But when it comes to something likes coins you don't want to polish them it takes away from there value. I have a friend that learned that the hard way. Thanks again for the comments.
My General TS-15 extinguisher had a coat of lacquer on it. Until I removed it with a stripper, there was really no chance of doing anything to the underlying brass. So if you spray this stuff on and it doesn't work this quickly, you probably need to strip the lacquer from your extinguisher first.
Thanks for checking out the video & comments Robert. I thought I mentioned that in a past comment or two, but the older I get I forget so thank you. Hope yours is back to new now too.
Thanks for the video. Few questions for you...I just bought a First Aid vintage extinguisher but it is missing the hose. Any idea where I can find one? How do you know what year it is? Mine does not say. Also, when I pick it up there is something clanking around on the inside-what is that? Lastly (sorry so many!), the rivets on the back are kind of blown out and when I tipped it to the side, a bunch of blue stuff came out. What is that? Thanks for your help!!
Watch ebay, or craigslist. The older metal extinguishers had a similar hose, depending on if was a screw on hose or just clamped in place. The clanging around inside is either the small bottle, or the stopper that sat on top of it to keep the chemicals separate till it was turned upside down to cause it to expand.
Hello! I have a fire extinguisher that expired in 1947, and it was never used so it still sounds like it has powder or something inside! How do I empty it?
Hi Melanie, when it comes to these old ones there were many different types of chemicals used some even containing sulfuric acid (or even a capsule inside). With that said I don't want to tell you something wrong. I would recommend you reach out to your local fire extinguisher company for advice (some times they will even help empty it for you). If its a US made one usually that acid/powder has dissipated but again don't want to tell you 100%. Also if you check selling old fire extinguishers on Ebay there is some helpful hints on there, I have checked that out in the past when selling one. Thanks again and sorry I couldn't be of 100% help.
Hi AlphaMan Richard, I am sorry to say I have purchased 1 part in the past and I got that off of EBAY. Normally I try to buy things 100% complete since I hate looking for a parts. Thanks and sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Hi Patti, it should feel quite light if it is empty (check there is normally a weight stamped on it somewhere, I have weighed them sometimes too if I wasn't 100%). Normally if they are really old the tops are almost rusted on (in that case I don't even screw with them & leave as is). Thanks and I hope this helps.
Hi MePatrizi, I have not found any value loss personally. In some cases a have even sold off few over the years and I believe got more $$ for having them look so nice (but to each there own when it comes to how they like them). Thanks and happy hunting for them..
You definitely get more money(substantially)(usually around $260-$360)from a well restored one than from one that “needs” the man hours and hard work put into it. People want these to be showpieces not pos’s.
I have tried the Vinegar and Salt trick many years ago but it takes a lot longer for it to work then this (I found at least). As for the polish I would still have to say the FLITZ keeps its shine longer then anything I have found (at least a year or more). Thanks for checking out the video and if you have any photos of what you have done I would love to see them too (always love the unique models that are out there).
well i found copper and brass Vintage Guardene Fire Extinguisher in the woods where my father and 1 are cleening up property for this lady taking the scrap out and i came across it and i could not let it go to the scrap yard . im looking for a hose/nozzle for it as well
I don't think that was a bad deal. The biggest thing is as long as you like it its all that matters. I know I have spent more than I should have a few times for something I thought was really cool. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you for your comments Mr. Azar. I prefer to use a safe product and didn't want to do damage to my extinguishers. But if I ever want to use something cheap on a item I need to strip and don't care about the finish I will use your recommendation. Thanks again for the tip and watching the video.

Wow! Thanks for making this video. I collect antiques and after seeing this, I bought some Flitz.
Glad to hear it helped you out. I hope you get some great results as well. Thanks for checking out my video too..

TY so much. I have an antique fire extinguisher and have been wanting to polish it.
That is very impressive!
I picked up an old brass extinguisher at the weekend, taking me ages to clean it....
Phill.

Hey Graham,, great video and very helpful. Do you have place you find hoses/nozzles for these old extinguishers?
thanks for the great video...I have a couple of them I'm going to get to this week
Thanks Robert, I know you will be blown away once you do it..
Wow, I will definitely try it,thanks
Thanks Phill, I am glad it helped you out.
Thank you for your comments. I personally like it cleaned up but to each there own. I am not looking to re sell them its just a hobby.
Thanks for the information! Going to go get some!
Thanks, let me know how it goes.

white vinegar works very well to on rust on metal and tarnish on brass and copper.

Cool I hope it turned out great for your too.
Checked Ace and other retailers. No one stocks this item in my town.
Does cleaning these affect the value at all?
Hi MePatrizi, I have not found any value loss personally. In some cases a have even sold off few over the years and I believe got more $$ for having them look so nice (but to each there own when it comes to how they like them). Thanks and happy hunting for them..
You definitely get more money(substantially)(usually around $260-$360)from a well restored one than from one that “needs” the man hours and hard work put into it. People want these to be showpieces not pos’s.
Thanks John for checking out the video and your comments.
vinegar and salt cleans about the same then use baking soda and water to rince it off then dry and use plastic-x polish
I have tried the Vinegar and Salt trick many years ago but it takes a lot longer for it to work then this (I found at least). As for the polish I would still have to say the FLITZ keeps its shine longer then anything I have found (at least a year or more). Thanks for checking out the video and if you have any photos of what you have done I would love to see them too (always love the unique models that are out there).
well i found copper and brass Vintage Guardene Fire Extinguisher in the woods where my father and 1 are cleening up property for this lady taking the scrap out and i came across it and i could not let it go to the scrap yard . im looking for a hose/nozzle for it as well
That's awesome, cool find!! Good luck on the search.. (I spend a lot of time on EBAY and have even had to buy a full extinguisher just to get a hose).
Just spent $45 on an unfinished one, how badly was I ripped off?
I don't think that was a bad deal. The biggest thing is as long as you like it its all that matters. I know I have spent more than I should have a few times for something I thought was really cool. Thanks for checking out the video.
FYI ~ I am pretty sure Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner does the same thing as the cleaner being used.
Thank you for your comments Mr. Azar. I prefer to use a safe product and didn't want to do damage to my extinguishers. But if I ever want to use something cheap on a item I need to strip and don't care about the finish I will use your recommendation. Thanks again for the tip and watching the video.

How much is one worth
Hi Garry, it really depends on what model it is. On the average you can get $50 on the low side and go up from their. Thanks for checking out the video.
i tryed cleaning my pyrene fire extigiusher with ketchup, but it turned it pink and now it started leaking CTC :l
Do you have an email address that I can show you before/after photos ?
