Read a really great article on pipesmagazine.com recently about restoring oxidized pipe stems without using a buffing wheel or power tools. The first step discussed in the article involves soaking the oxidized stems in a solution of warm water and Oxyclean for 15 min to an hour depending on the severity of the oxidation.
My question is.....would Oxyclean take off or damage logos on the stems? I have several GBD's and Charatan pipes that I am considering trying to clean up using the techniques described in the article, but wanted to proceed with caution. Anyone have experience with Oxyclean? I'd appreciate any advice...
Thanks,
Scott
