One of the wonderful things about bronze sculptures is that they need little care
or maintenance and will last for hundreds of years.
Technically no maintenance is needed at all. With no maintenance the patina will
gradually change and the bronze will develop a light green oxidation. This is not
a bad thing and is often considered to be a desirable thing. However in order to
maintain the original patina and keep it better protected from vandalism there will
need to be some routine maintenance.
The sculptures will have been given a coat of wax in order to protect the bronze
from the oxygen in the air and other natural elements. This wax can serve as a
protective coating from vandalism. Yearly maintenance in the hottest part of
summer is recommended. Although I am recommending yearly maintenance,
waxing more then once a year would also be okay if you are feeling like it needs
it. You might consider applying wax when it starts to warm up in the spring and
before it gets to cold in late summer.
Note: Sometimes newly applied wax can develop a whitish look and begin to
flake slightly where it has been applied thick. This is normal. On hot days the wax
should remelt and this will go away. If desired the wax can be melted with a heat
gun or propane torch and the witness will quickly go away.

Step #1 Maintenance Identification:
In Early July check to see how well the wax is holding up. A good rule of thumb is
that if water. Stops beading up on the surface then a new coat of wax is needed.
Step #2 Materials
Johnson's Clear Paste Wax is the recommended wax to use. It is also very easy
to find in most hardware stores. Make sure you stay away from car waxes as
they usually dry with a slight whitish color to it.
Step #3 - Washing the sculpture
Inspect the sculpture to see if there are any areas that need cleaned. The best
cleaner to use is water with a little bit of mild dish soap. Do not add to much soap
as you do not want a soapy buildup on the sculpture. A small toothbrush and rag
will help to clean areas that may have an abundance of filth such as dirt or bird
droppings. If an oxidation light green patina is forming there is no need to worry
about cleaning this off. This is a natural and beautiful effect that weather has on
bronze and is often considered desirable. Trying to clean it off could damage the
original patina. When cleaning is finished allow it to dry a couple hours before
moving onto the next step.
Step #4 - Waxing
During the hottest part of the day in the hottest part of summer apply the new
coat of wax. Use a stiff bristle paint brush to apply the wax. Make sure to get wax
in all the cracks and tight places. Spread the wax evenly as possible making sure
tho not let too much build up in the crevices. The heat of the day will make this
easier as the wax will melt and spread more evenly.
Step #5 - Polishing
Once sculptures are fully waxed take a clean polishing rag and polish the
sculpture.

In case of Vandalism
The wax coating will help serve as a protection against vandalism, so keeping up
on yearly maintenance should be your first defense. However depending on the
degree of vandalism this may not be enough to fully protect the sculpture.
Usually artwork is not the best target for vandals but it is possible so it is good to
know procedures how to counteract it.
Light Vandalism
For light vandalism (such as writing with a sharpie marker) first try to wash it off
with a mild soap and water mixture. If this doesn't work try a magic eraser
available in the cleaning section of most retail or grocery stores. If this does not
work try a solvent such as finger nail polish remover. If using a solvent be as
carful as you can to not damage the patina.
Heavy Vandalism
If heavy vandalism is done (Such as large amounts of spray paint) there is not
much you can do to protect the patina. However, no amount of spray paint will be
able to hurt the metal of the sculpture. Use a solvent to remove the paint. If a
milder solvent like finger nail polish remover is insufficient you may need to use a
harsher solvent such as paint stripper.
Once the paint is removed you will need to determine the damage to the patina.
Get a professional opinion on how to apply a new patina. I will always be
available to give my input however I may not be the best qualified to apply a new
patina.
Extreem Vandalism
It is possible to start fresh by sandblasting the sculpture will glass beads and
apply a completely new patina. Also consult a professional on this.
