I've got items of door furniture (letter box, knocker etc) that are

I've tried Brasso and lots of elbow grease but I'm just not getting
down to a level where it would make a difference.

So I'm looking for the best way to get them all buffed up by using
something that I can attached to my drill.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

The Brass stuff will have originally been epoxy laquered, whose
remnants are still as tough as old boots. I usually burn it off with
a gas torch etc, before starting with the abrasives.

Yup, but watch out for those melty centres - see below...
