Message:: [QUOTE="Phaik Hooi, post: 303006, member: 5831"]dear all the 4-poster bed post about 7 1/2 feet long. i had cleaned it a long time ago with brasso, but i think i ruined it and striped off a layer of coating of i don't know what. today i cleaned it out and unscrewed the fittings. under the fittings is the untouched original. it doesn't look tarnished as compared to exposed parts. and on closer inspection, i could see that it is a sheet of brass or whatever wrapped around a metal rod. so there are actually 3 different parts; the under the fittings (tarnish?), the unbrasso tarnish and the brasso-cleaned tarnish. so i decided to clean it at the border of the previously brassoed area. first i used brasso, but nothing happened. so i used autosol and that cleaned it up but i noticed that it had took off a bit of the "under fittings tarnish". questions: what have i done <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> and what are the different layers? is there any way to get it to look like the original again? original=under the fittings.what to do from here on ... suggestions? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> regardsphaik hooi [ATTACH=full]99164[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99166[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99170[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99171[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
