I think I remember such a thread some long time back but couldn't find it.

(This is probably a good one for Tommy P)

I have recently acquired a 70's Slingy Artist 8 Lug 5.5x14 Snare, and the Snare is in super mint shape, but notice just a slight hue difference being just ever so slightly more yellow than my Deems WMP Set which was built around 1980 I believe.

What, if anything could be done to lighten such slight yellowing?

I thought perhaps once somebody mentioning Polishing with an auto ultra fine finishing polish, and I do have a number of such polishes on hand, plus do own 2 DA Machines, a Porter Cable 7424XP, with various size backing plates that can use 3" to 5.5" Pads, and also a Baby Griots Garage 3" DA with appropriate pads to use.

I'd imagine to do such correctly, the Shell would have to be totally stripped of all hardware, which I feel I am also up to the task to carefully do without harm.

What say? Will such slightly lighten and lessen such minor yellowing without being too aggressive? Or no?

Thanks, Mark
