DIY Brass Polishing
- 1). Dampen the steel wool with the lacquer thinner. Rub the brass with the steel wool to remove built-up dust and grime.
- 2). Apply a smooth layer of brass polish, using an old T-shirt or other cotton cloth. Allow the brass to sit for a few minutes.
- 3). Buff off the remaining polish, using a clean, soft cotton cloth or another old T-shirt.
