[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 140715, member: 820"] Try some fine sandpaper 300-600. Toothpaste is only good as a finisher after the majority of the gunk is gone, but it works. A good buffing wheel is ideal but most of us dont have one around.. The bleach treatment can also help get off the the really cruddy stuff- just be sure to have the tenon protected with vaseline so you don´t eat it away. There are several step-by-step videos about this on youtube... Piet walked me through the process and it´s not as hard as you´d imagine... Once its clean, wipe it with a little nose wax (yes the oil from around your nose!) to polish it up and give it luster. Thes will protect it from oxidation in the future as well... [/QUOTE]
