Hmmmmm. Mayhaps you are correct?? The can doesn't say abrasive.. but it
doesn't say it isn't either. I've been using Brasso on brass for a
mellinium and it did/does work on things like Drake LP filters and other
brass items. It will, of course, take the silk-screen markings off. I
should have mentioned that... for sure.

Brasso IS abrasive. Many, many hours spent polishing collar brass on
Army uniform.
