    A group punishment in basic training was to polish a fired scorched tank shell before morning the next day. As we only had the supplies available we used steel wool and scouring powder finished with Brasso. Mirror finish but then we had 30 people working on it in shifts. Our NCO was impressed.

    Looks like a tea or sake cup, it’s so small. The lip at the top makes me think it used to have a lid. Very cool restoration!

    I just take it to the buffing wheel on my bench grinder. Use the solid stick compound and polish. Comes out like a mirror finish.

    The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) just neutralizes the acid. The bubbles (regardless of their cinematic effect) do absolutely nothing to remove the oxide. Those bubbles are just CO2 that is produced when the baking soda neutralizes the acid.

    I do metal restoration you really don't have to do all these steps....I would use Acetone first to clean it to break down all that grease and extra build up, mix the oxalic Acid with liquid soap scrub it then polish it

      ​@@davidstrickler6570 I like morhers mag polish before chrome polish. Really loosens up the residual in the metal. I buff with finger pads or cloth, wipe out then buff with a fresh light coating with the dremel and buff wheel.

      I boil brass in cheap white spirit vinegar for only a few minutes, clean in mild soapy water then rinse with clean water, dry and straight to polish.

    This is the finish I'd like to restore my kitchen cabinet doorknobs back to, but there's no way I can go through all these steps for each doorknob/door pull. I have Brasso, and I have barkeeper's friend (which has oxalic acid). I can clean them with that. Can I skip the other steps and just get the diamond paste 20,000 and use the polishing tool? If so, I need to know what the final polishing tool was that you used.

    • @noimagination99
      @noimagination99 11 месяцев назад +1

      I'd say just try it and see what works. Brass is easy to clean and polish. 20000 diamond grit is not needed. There are much cheaper, simpler, readily available polishes that are great for brass (because it is soft). Red Rouge should work.

    I have a zippo from 2017 it started life as a non special chrome plated brass zippo woth a sinple american flag print on the front and after it being my eberyday carry from 2017 till today it looked really bad, the chrome was wonr through in spots the american flag logo was allost gone tons of gouges and scratches not huge gouges but deep enough to call them that from car keys hotting it in your pockets and being dropped. So i decided to strip all the chrome off using 80 grit sand paper and worked my way up to 12k grit. Its really shiny and mirror like but still has a good amount of deeper scratches in it i cnnot get lut using polishing sand laper pads you would use for scale mdoel car bodoes starting from 500 grit all the way to 20k grit and have been doing that over and kver again for hours and hours and they still wont go away. And o have 16 different grits i use in-between bkth those two o said i used any help thanks. O got the flip top perfect no scratches and its mirror shiny with no polish needed but cant get the sides to lookike that

      I don't know about stupid, but I do prefer the old look just for nostalgia sake. Everyone is different and will have preferences.
      My idea would be to polish the inside and lip so it can contain a beverage, but leave the outside's patina.
