BrassoI am curious about the opposite.... What will clean up brass? IE brighten it?
Needing to ask is how you can tell someone wasn't in the Army.Brasso
I got this finish with birch wood Casey super blue. Each coat darkens it more. Apply n let sit for a few minutes. Then I washed in dawn soapy water to neutralize.
One thing, the brass on this gun had some patina. I had to shine/clean it first with BC blue n rust remover (which I think is just acetone) to get even finish. If A piece wasn’t looking good I’d go back n strip it to shiney brass n start over. View attachment 10849 View attachment 10850 Definitely wanna use these products outside IMO for fumes.[/Q

No. Some suggest wax etc but I want to stay away from shiney for hunting. I shoot almost daily and the gun goes in and out of case a lot with little wear/shine so farDid you use a sealer after you got it the color you wanted .
