Brass cleaning suggestions needed

[Jim Owens]

Ron & Ruth,

FWIW, not much brass and very little stainless in our vintage 'Bird.
The fixtures you mentioned may be brass plated and/or lacquered - my
experience has been that's difficult to remedy. You might try Cameo,
Bon Ami or Bar Keeper's Friend (follow mfgrs instructions)- stay away
from abrasive cleaners with silica! (Comet, Ajax, etc.)

If you have solid brass in the bath/kitchen you may have to remove the
fixtures and treat them to several grades of metal polish on a good
buffing wheel. Supplies available at your local hardware store, home
improvement center and possibly Sears. Smaller items might be polished
in place using a Dremel tool with small wheels - tedious and time
consuming...

Good luck and happy polishing.
