[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 549851, member: 4552"]In a serious note I would simply try jewlery cleaner from Walmart. However, it is obvous you can not lower that into the jar, so just wet a cotton ball and lightly wipe the entire surface. Note I said the entire surface so the end results are consistant. You could also try swabbing with Acetone but make sure you try that one outside if you do. Your bigger problem will be how to stop any further corrosion, tarnishing, toning, darkening, etc. Remember that Bronze is just Copper mixed with other materials so it is suseptable to the same things as Copper is. Bronze is in reality a mixture of Copper, Tin and various other materials such as Phosphorus, Manganese, Aluminum, Silicon, etc. depending on what someone wants the finished product to appear like. IF, and that is a big IF, you want to preserve that and it is not really to valuable, you may want to look into metal polishes.
