TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
i think I have a buffer wheel, but no brasso, your welcome to try it
ok here's how you really do it- an email from a friend of mine still in the puss (gunner)
bro the best way to bring it up so it will look oh so damn fine is with a lathe. put it on a lathe and use fine grit sand-paper (wet and dry) on it. sand it until the crap comes off (doesnt take too long) and coz the sand-paper is fine, it doesnt damage it. once all the old crappy looking colour has been removed (and after some extra detail attention to the top where it looks like the top of a jam jar of something), grab some brasso and a rag (while still on the lathe) and polish it up from there. it doesnt take too long (an hour and youll have the shiniest cartridge in the country). after you have done that, you could give it another brasso the opposite way to what you did on the lathe or put some more elbow into it and then (if available) apply some lacker to the cratridge so it has a sealed application and hopefully, there is your most perfect and proud piece of naval inventory hahaha. hope that helps bro..........
Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision
Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat
Fix a computer and it'll break tomorrow.
Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

OK, this from a dude who owns a heavy engineering company. They do Brass doors, stair and bar rails.
"Once the polishing is done, DON'T use spray laquer - that stuff is hard and chips when rings or belt buckles come into contact with it. Get a really good quality creme silicone polish and deal to it with that. The more applications the better is the sealing from oxidation. That's why commercial brass door furniture always looks so good."
