My I let my new brass manica sit for about a week before I looked at it again, the leather had a coat of neatsfoot oil and the brass had a layer of ballistol oil: http://www.ballistoluk.co.uk/acatalog/Pr...Steel.html
But now the once shiny brass has quickly discolored:

Does anyone know what could have caused this so suddenly? Neither ballisol or neatsfoot oil have ever harmed any brass of my other equipment. I am under the impression a scotchbrite pad is too rough for brass. What do you think?
EDIT: The "tarished" areas do not at all wipe off with a cloth, even when pressure is applied
