    Any time you are using a steel or brass brush on another metal
    surface you need to use a soapy water lubricant, and enough of it. I
    usually rig up a drip onto a rotating brass brush, or if doing it by
    hand will dip it. If you do not use a lubricant then metal can be
    transferred from the brush to your surface. This can be done of
    purpose, as when blacksmiths brass brush steel hot without a
    lubricant, the brass transfers to the high spots on the steel with is
    black and thus everything gets greater contrast and looks
    interesting, the tops golden and the recesses black.
