Hi There,
I'm in the process of restoring a 1960's Kent wmp snare drum.
In the past when restoring vintage drums, I've always taken tarnished / rusty lugs and tension rods and soaked them in Lime Away before following up with metal polish.
Though the Lime Away did wonders on the tension rods, snare strainer and butt plate, my lugs actually came out WORSE than before soaking them: They now seem "cloudy" or blemished, instead of shiny.
Any ideas on how to fix? My current metal polish isn't doing anything. Did I screw up the lugs permanently?
Thanks,
Mark
