dallasboy_75287 Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Rec'd a Thompson brass cleaning rod from IMA with every sort of gunk on it. What solvent can I use that won't harm the brass? btw: When clean, it will look cool the the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron A Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 PhilOhio - see what happens when they did away with the draft - so few know how to clean brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leid Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Use Flitz metal polish followed by flour to remove the blackened polish. We clean the bright work on airplanes and boats this way. It is a lot faster to use than Brasso. If you don't feel like rubbing, use Sweets 7.62. Just put it on, wait 15 minutes, and wipe it off thoroughly as it is ammonia based. The rod will look like new.

Sgt Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Phil-- Sounds like you went through some of that Army stuff. You remember when you would spend a good part of the evening making little circles on your boot toes, spit shining with cotton swabs, alcohol, and Esquire. The next day you would trudge through the mud with them. The gun-ho guys would burn off the lacquer on their lapel buttons and Brasso them.
