[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 494245, member: 8767"] Others will have suggestions... I reckon it is probably damaged already from the soil, but I would be polishing the back with a toothbrush and toothpaste very gently. Get some of the bad crud off and then use brasso and a toothbrush to polish to a shine if that is your end game. My opinion is that vinegar is too harsh on brass or bronze. If I am not worried about something brass or bronze,,, I will use my stainless steel tumbler to polish an item up, then clear lacquer or wax coat. [/QUOTE]
