BRASSO is my FRIEND? What other things do use?

I never liked brasso, as it leaves green sediments and isn't that good for your kit. I personally always use a polishing weel (when available) for a rough cleaning and then hand-finish with steelwool or very fine sanding blocks.

Afterwards all my kit gets a layer of olive-oil mixed with beeswax as a protective cover.
