Got a tip about restoring corroded brass. [View all]

Haven't tried it yet myself, but a friend told me to polish it with Tobasco sauce. Since the item's ruined anyway, far beyond the reach of Brasso, it won't hurt to try Tobasco Sauce when I get time. Will let you know how it turns out for me before suggesting others follow, however.

While I'm at it, allow me to invite any other suggestions anyone might have for rescuing ruined brass.
