Thanks for any tips...


Here's a tip... buy low, sell high.

There are lots of things that will get tarnish off brass, but they all
take a toll on the surface. If you want them to shine effortlessly, take
them to a plating shop.

I like to spray newly polished brass with a good grade of automotive clear coat,
stops the tarnish from coming back, is however a slightly different shine than
the naked brass. It doesn't 'feel' the same either, those of you that work
metal will know what I mean.

If you are willing to do some work, then Wenol is the best polish. It's
used by car show fanatics and not much known outside the car show and
airplane show circles.
