I was given this trick by Randy T. to clean gilted and unguilted brass parts.
It works fine and is not harsh on the parts . The hard part is finding it . Here in the New Orleans I could not find it although it was in every grocery store 10 years ago. I found my bottle in Florida .
First 2 shots are from an untouched plate . The third pic I washed the right side only.
I need to clean up the verdigris spots but there is a subtle difference .
You must neutralize the ammonia after you are do. This can be done with a couple of re-cleans with soapy water or baking soda in water.
