That will work fine on statuary. But the Bronze Plaques on the ground have a tendency to get much more scuffing than anything else. I think they were referring to Plaques, but I'm not sure. To be honest they don't have much protection. I've seen mower wheels go right over them. I hope sooner or later someone comes up with an easy solution for Bronze that does not require much maintenance, except for every 3 or 4 years or more. Jack
