Wright's Brass Polish will set you right. It will get between the scales and turn green when it dries. I use a damp hunk of old t-shirt to get under and around the scales (after polishing). Before I knew about Wright's, I used Nver-dull with soaked cotton wadding in a can. It's petroleum based I think. VERY labor intensive, but after you are sure it isn't working, suddenly the dirt and corrosion let go and it is shiny.
