I’ve tried rub’n’buff on a few different materials and never worked out why it doesn’t sometimes work. I’ll definitely follow these steps on my next project. I’m so glad I found this ❤️

Thanks Marie,

Is there an ebony rub n’ buff? That would be great!

It looks better than either on their own in my opinion. I discovered today that antique gold combined with ebony produced something close to antique brass. I was matching new door hinges to very old 1938 rim lock door knob fixtures that I stripped of paint. The result was passable and saved me a bundle.

Good morning Natascha,

I just used regular sand paper in a fine grit. Like I said, I would also go over the whole fixture with deglosser after sanding and then wipe it down well with rubbing alcohol before using the rub n buff.

Hope this helps!

It’s exactly what I was looking for. What did you use to sand the rust down? If normal sanding paper, what grit? Thanks!

I just recently learned about this product on TikTok and it sounded like the answer to my bathroom light fixture color mismatch issue. I started searching and found this post! We changed out the fixtures and hardware on everything but the light in our bathroom when we did a bit of a facelift on it this summer. We took things from bronze to black. Not a huge difference, but one we notice. My husband did NOT change the light fixture and it has driven me crazy ever since.

Hi Rita,

I had the same problem with bathroom fixtures getting little bits of rust and Rub n Buff worked great. Do pop back in and let us know how it holds up…I have since moved from that home, so can’t opine on how my fixtures are doing now. And not for nothing, wouldn’t you expect a shower rod to hold up to moisture? That’s rather disappointing that you have had that problem.

Have a great day, my friend.

Hugs,

Lynn

I returned the first one I had and the company sent me a new one. The second rod also rusted within a year. I didn’t want to have to remove it and start over again so I thought about Rub n Buff, as I had used it before for other projects. It is a wax product so I thought that it would work well in damp areas. My bathroom hardware is brushed nickel so I got a tube of the silver color. I rubbed it on without taking the rod down and, so far, I’ve had no more rust spots. It’s a great solution. Rub n Buff works for so many projects.
