Thanks for the tip Nino!
I have used Novus 3 with superfine steel wool and gotten very nice results - not sure if I'm doing anything that might be causing issues down the track?
I used to use Brasso and 0000 steel wool with similar results. Sometime the Legs are "pitted" from the corrosion, and I've found the best way is to attack that through chemicals, not scrubbing.. Both methods should give you similar results.
