I keep getting e-mails with questions.  Ron Baker is trying to get a page 
up for all of us.  In the mean time I will try to post important 
information that I am ask about.

To make the cleaned area look more like the rest of the chassis, let it
tarnish on its own, can take up to a year for color to match.  Now some
may not like the shine of the spot even after tarnish.  That can be
addressed if you desire with some 0 grade SYNTHETIC steel wool.  Synthetic
is made of plastic.  Do not use metal as it leaves little "hairs".
Basically you want to roughen up the area immediately after cleaning.
Flitz is a polish and shines with cleaning.  Than let it tarnish on its
own. Keep in mind that the copper is thin and can be taken off easily.
After the spot is to your liking, I would buff it with a paper towel and
seal with the lacquor.

Ron
