BRASSO is my FRIEND? What other things do use?

[Athena Areias]

I use NEVR-DULL on the brass/bronze elements of my panoply. The tin is full of saturated raw cotton batting. I just pull off a piece and start polishing. It turns the cotton black and takes quite a while. Suddenly the corrosion/fingerprints/etc. lets go and the metal gleams. I use a flannel rag to pull off the excess "oil". I then polish with a clean flannel. Paper towels can do some of the early work. I got the NEVR-DULL at Pep Boys Auto Supply. I tried Brasso - it cleaned but left green dried gunk in the seams of the metal. HTH.
