Warning we have received advice on the cleaning of medals from the manufacturer who recommend that Brasso and other abrasive substances should not be used to clean medals the PJM in particular. A special cloth like Goddard's silver cloth or similar should be used. If it does become necessary a cleaner such as silver wadding carefully administered should only be used.
