A: Another good brass polish is Wright's Bass Polish. You may also see this as Brass Cream. An 8oz bottle can be found for less than $10 and I have seen good results from it.
If that doesn't work, or if you want something more natural, you can try a homemade brass polish that is not harsh but does a good job of removing any tarnish or discoloration.
- Dissolve 1 tsp salt in 1 cup of vinegar
- Add flour until it becomes a paste
- Rub paste onto the brass then let sit for 10 minutes
- Rinse or wipe off with wet cloth then wipe dry
If the brass has a lacquer coating, it cannot be polished due to this coating. You can remove the lacquer finish with fingernail polish remover, then try a polishing compound.
Hope that helps!
