pehayes:
Does anyone here have expertise in polishing brass?  I need some technical advice.  Not Guzzi related.  Not even motorcycle relate.  Offline as private messages please.

What I have observed was on a Windjammer four mast Schooner back in the mid-80s. Had quite a bit of brass. The crew spent a lot of time hand polishing with rags using what I am guessing was something like Brasso. A lot time and elbow grease. If they weren't polishing the brass they were paint chipping and painting.

Patrick, I have used a German made metal polish called" Wenol" to polish brass,as well as aluminum with very good results. It also leaves a film behind  to protect the metal from tarnishing.
Good stuff, I always keep a tube handy, for polishing anything metal.

DoubleGuzzi:
For heavy tarnishing tomato sauce works well: leave on for a while and wash off. Otherwise, a product that I get from across The Pond - MOTHERS MAG AND ALUMINUM POLISH

wirespokes:
Could you be a little more specific, Patrick?  :wink:

Do you want to remove some corrosion or is it rough and needing more than that?

I'm guessing it's a controversial item or you'd have named it.
