Hello,

I am new to the forum. I am 41. Live in Belgium. Owns a great Jaguar Cobain. I am a HUGE fan of Kurt.

This weekend I decided to spend some time changing strings and cleaning up the guitar. I just used a polishing cloth to remove the dust/any other dirt on the guitar and made use of no product.
I use the cloth on the hardware and now it shines as never :-(
Ther hardware is still plenty of scratches and everything but it shines like a brand new one. Looks like there was something on it to make it look tarnished.
How can I tarnish it back? Does someone know about the product that was applied on it?
Thanks

Olivier

If you have any kids give it to them to play with for a bit.
If they're anything like my son they'll sweat jam, and can make something very shiny look dull very quickly! 8)

I was going to suggest steel wool to scuff it up and take the shine off, but kids are very efficient.

Steel wool and pickup magnet = a mess

Hadn't considered that! Makes sense though - all the pieces breaking off and sticking to the magnet.
