[Fists] Cleaning my key

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Luigi,

I would leave the brass alone on the Kent keys because it has been 
lacquered.

If you have tried to "polish" the brass and you've rubbed the lacquer off 
and the key is now starting to darken, that is another matter.

I'd use Flitz to polish up the brass - it is sold in automotive stores and 
hardware stores.  If you cannot get that, get Simachrome.  Simachrome is 
abrasive and Flitz is not.  I use Flitz on gold also.  If I were to use 
Simachrome on gold, it would rub off the gold.

73, Adios amigo Hector!

I would like to shine up one of my "keys" It is a KENT made of solid brass. 
What do anyone suggest I use for cleaning it to shine?  Any product in 
particular? Commercial Brass by any chance?
