JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2014 How about Brasso? Used to polish my Dad's brass for him while he was in the Army. Kimo Nope,,, brasso leaves a protective film, neverdull does not..... brasso was specifically prohibited in boot camp!! If you were caught with it, you would be PT'd until you died. And then you would be PT'd some more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2014 Flytire is correct, I was wrong, aluminum doesn't rust. Steel corrodes, aluminum corrodes? I think aluminum oxidizes, which I believe is aluminum speak for corrode. Aluminum reacts by pitting, over time, when exposed to Saltwater and acidic liquids like tomato sauce.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2017 LOL Probably a good time to revive this thread. It's been 3 1/2 years since it was started ... probably time to clean the vise again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2017 Thanks Kimo, very timely tip for me, now cleaning a vintage Norvise #022, for a friend. Starting with gentle soap, softest toothbrush I can get, and dental floss picks to carefully get some old grit out. The vise is in magnificent working condition given 4 decades of use as working tool, with fine esthetics too. Hope we find a buyer, as they say on American Pickers, that will give it a good home. Need to learn best practices on the polish phase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2017 I'd give it a good home ... if it cost the same as free kittens. We have given many kittens a good home !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
