Thanks for the offer Syl, but I think I will stick with just this one for now. I tried rubbing
the case with Brasso and then soaked it in Glayzit and polished vigorously. Neither
worked well. It has sort of a feathered oxidation look all over. What next? I have some
Mother's Mag polish. Yes? Novus 3-2-1 ?

Mother's mag and blue polish are great, then Mother's mag scratch remover for the finishing touch.
