No such thing!

Many moons ago, when I was still in the USAF fire dept, we hadda
polish a lot of brass, so I KNOW!


The only thing that gets tarnish off of brass is "elbow grease"!


If the objects are removable, the old barrel-of-sawdust with a few blocks o'wood
and a pint of metal polish, slowly turned by a motor, will tumble it clean
and smooth in a lazy day.
