After a deeply intensive hunting around the net, I have found those products:
Pre Lim Cleaner Renaissance Wax for Multi Surfaces | eBay
So, I have ordered the compounds and received them after only 6 days, so I have immediately tried it on one of my Cypreus 2, the XL version.
Those are two shots of my Cypreus before treatment:
The host was polished about 30 days ago with a good italian copper cleaner/polisher:
... but after a week or so the copper began to change the color to a not uniform redish shades (classical copper issue).
So I start to polish the host with the pre-lim surface cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth like this:
After a lot of circular and linear movements, the cloth changed from yellow to black, so I blow to the host to completely dry the surface,
then I polished the surface with a new microfiber cloth.
Here are the results:
Since some compund remained stuck between the Cypreus 2 XL fins, I have removed it without problems with this good tool:
So I take some micro-crystalline wax with my fingers and with all my hands I have energically mixed all the host until the wax began to be very hard to manage because almost solidified. So I stop to manage the host and I blow again a lot to dry completely the wax.
Finally, with the third Meguiar's microfiber cloth
beer, I have completed the masterpiece:
Please note that my camera caught the copper colour with much more red hue, but actually is really blonde!
Update: this is a shot with almost real colors in an outdoor environment in a full cloud-free sunrise:
Update 2: same thing with the Cypreus II "normal" size:
Since the wax preserve the oxidation and the progressive redness of the copper, You will enjoy the host as if it had just been polished for a long time :beer:
Please also note that those products are suitable for all the kind of metals and many many other materials ...
