<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 1566430, member: 5398&quot;]I&#039;m thinking the brass has a clear protective coating that&#039;s worn off, not gold plating. A Sunshine Cloth as suggested by Ownedbybear would help, but if it still looks a little rough or unevenly finished, you could do what I&#039;ve done with vintage brass purse frames, compacts, and lipstick cases in that condition.&nbsp; I remove the clear coating with acetone (I have to &quot;work&quot; at it to get all the &quot;varnish&quot; off, and wear a mask that blocks fumes), then polish with Simichrome or a polishing cloth. I don&#039;t attempt to re-coat with a clear finish, just buff when needed, and I mention all that when selling. However.....since you have a Gucci buckle, it may not be worth the time, and will sell for the same amount either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
