I'm currently restoring an antique brass clock. In the course of polishing the badly tarnished brass, I have come across some areas of discoloration which do not seem to buff or polish off.
These areas are orange-colored (look like bronze) rather than the yellow brass color of the rest of the piece.. They are not depressed areas of corrosion, but appear to be simply discoloration on the flat surface of the brass.
I have been unable to remove them with polish or buffing, and am wondering if anyone can provide guidance on what they are, and how to remove them.
It is not an option to deeply buff or grind the brass surface, as that would destroy the dimensions of the multiple brass pieces whch assemble into the completed clock.
Thanks in advance. Martin
