    Not sure how I'd go about hanging up a car to spray the brass, also not really wanting to paint the surfaces.

    Have finished what I had to with the Renault, didn't get round to the lights, although I did start to show what was under the tarnish

    Have a different one to do now

    Guy,
    Sorry, haven't read everything above, but have you tried using Autosol? (Autosol Australia)
    I used to get it from my local automotive general supplier in the UK, but haven't really looked for it in Aus.

    I haven't used it specifically for Brass, but I used to use it for polishing the aluminium frame on my motocross bike (in my lighter/younger years), and it worked wonders, especially if you use a buffing pad! It is a general 'metal polish' so could work!?

    Would need some research to find suppliers in Aus.....

    We have used Autosol in the past, fairly sure there are a couple of tubes still floating around here.

    No longer have to polish the veteran, next.

    Don't laugh but HP sauce is great for it, you smear it on the brass and the leave for a bit and then hose or wipe of and hey presto the brass is all nice and clean and shiny
