[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 237120, member: 2318"] Ditto re: the above. Vigorus app of a rough cotton cloth helps keep oxidartion of vulcanite stems at bay. To be more aggressive, get a couple of micromesh finishing pads. I've found repeated apps of a drop of Brebbia stem polish is helpful. (Use Brebbia, not Dunhill. They're the same thing, but the Dunhill product costs 2X as much.) And as an oxidation preventative, there's much to be said for good 'ol mineral oil. Just dip the teensiest bit of your pinky finder in the stuff, put the smallest drop on the front- and backside of the bit, and, with your fingers, spread it equally on the bit. Let it absorb for a half hour. Then lightly wipe off the residue with a cloth. If there's much MO left on the stem, you used too much. At worst it's an aesthetic problem. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
