The wire-wheel was not needed at all this time.
Ok, so confession time. I have been using a can of Brasso. Note :can:
I finally used up the last of my 20+ year old can of Brasso and had to breakdown and go get more. It is now in plastic squeeze bottle (I like it) and boy howdy did it make a difference. I had not realize how "faded" my Brasso was until I used fresh stuff.
