	What are the different methods of cleaning bronze plaques such as on tombstones. I am looking for something that is easy & relatively quick.

	It depends on what finish you want. A wipe with a damp cloth or soft brush. Dry with a soft cloth followed by some very soft wax would be my preference to mainain the patina. Del __________________ health warning: These posts may contain traces of nut.

	The beauty of bronze is, that a natural patina is not that bad; that's why they use it for things like statues in the town square....or tombstones. Your loved one will appreciate your visit, much more than a shiny plaque. __________________ Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
