Cleaning bronze on boats

Tips for cleaning Brass and bronze. Our boat has loads so I've tried all sorts of things to make the job easy, all the vinegar - lemon juice concoctions and all the pastes and creams. Brasso was my favorite for years, but now I have two things that cut cleaning time in half! I tell you the things I cheat with too!!!
Ongoing information / testing:
You may have seen in the episodes that I tried a nano technology product (Gtechniq) on some of the bronze. The manufacturers warned it wasn't what the product was meant for but would be interesting to see if it helped so I tried it on small areas inside and out. Initially it seemed to do a good job a slowing tarnishing but when the bronze did tarnish it turned black and was then difficult to clean, so overall not recommended.
I still clean in the same way with Bar keepers friend and 3m's restorer but I sometimes use the cream version of the Bar keepers friend for a quickclean, less messy but ultimately not and good for stubborn marks.
I've been through many different lacquers, some were awful! So far the best seems to be Everbrites 'Protectaclear' which comes with a cleaner and goes on really well. I just need to see how it does long term but I'm sure it will be better than the Rustins I used in the video which didn't go on very well and degraded very quickly in the sun.
