I went down to the boat this weekend (a nice 7 hour drive, each way!). I removed the 3 portholes with the idea of replacing them. They look terrible. I saw some nice affordable ones from New Found Metals (http://www.newfoundmetals.com/catalog/pg04.html).
When I got home I started to look at the old ones closely. They are very heavy. Probably bronze. I'd hate to get rid of them without trying to service them and see if I can make them look good again. I could replace the glass window with some tinted plexi or lexan, clean and polish the frame. Any suggestions or thoughts? There must be a product to help with the cleaning?
Here are the portholes:
