[QUOTE="OzzieAu, post: 603891, member: 4086"] Gday Luke... with my brass finds I usually drop them in my ultrasonic cleaner which just cleans off the surface dirt and grit, then once dried I gently brush with a fine brass wire brush, then move on to a fine stainless steel wire brush and finally very fine steel wool, depending how much oxidation there is to remove. Generally you can leave or remove as much patina as you wish, depending on the look that you want. Heres a solid brass doorknob before and after. Cheers Adrian.
