[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 274760, member: 2318"] Well, you can use a buffer. Or -- Use some fine sand paper (wet or dry) to take off visible surface oxidation. This will give you a dull, scratched (but not so oxidized) finish. Then you can apply Brebbia or Dunhill stam polish. (In fact, if the oxidation is light, just start with the stem polish. Then take a slight dab of good ol' mineral oil (an anti-oxidant) and apply it evenly to the stem. Let it sit for an hour or so. Wipe off any residue. Then take a tube of lip balm with sun shield, put some on your finger- and thumb-tip and apply to the bit section of the stem. Just let it sit. A shortcut is to just apply the mineral oil, and just a dab will do ya. Experiment a bit. You can't irrevocably screw it up. [/QUOTE]
