Now that I’ve removed the layers of paint, I have what appears to be I believe brass (could it be bronze?) backing plates for horns (cleats) on the inside rail of our Island Gypsy 30. Very heavy & solid plates - about 4.25” x 5.25”. Looking to clean them up and get them shining once again. Question is what is best solution to keep them looking good. Do I apply a lacquer or wipe/spray sail lubricant over them or just keep polishing them from time to time once they appear to start to tarnish.
Anyone else tackled this before? Any recommended cleaning products to clean and/or maintain. Thanks in advance
