[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 206914, member: 1723"] Tried Walker Briar Works stem cleaning kit today and am less than happy with the results. It looked like I succeed in removing the oxidation on 2 stems, but after applying the carnuba wax and then looking at them carefully I see some obvious areas that need more work. I spent about 10 minutes on each stem in bright light and thought I'd removed all of the oxidation with the cleaning compound. At least it looked like I did after much rubbing! So I'm a little discouraged at this point. I really can't see myself spending too much time on this if it's going to produce similar results on the other vulcanite stems I have that need attention. Have to admit I just don't have the patience for it. Nor do I want to invest in a buffing wheel and all that set-up, so will probably see if I can get this done professionally. Don't like to fuss with things like this! ymmv Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
