Looks clean. What did you use or do?

Has that wire wheel on a drill look about it.

That is the way the wax polishes out. I can remove it partially, or totally and rework the look.
A lot of what you see is the camera effect. In real life, it is shiny, but still has that "antique" finish.
To me, it is better than spray paint, but not as good as re-plating.
I used the little toothbrush size brushes that come in a three pack at homerepo to get the rust off.
