<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1896651, member: 33176&quot;]An oxidizing agent is one that promotes reaction with oxygen to form oxides (OK, there&#039;s more to it than that, but let&#039;s keep it simple) while a reducing agent will cause the oxides to give up their oxygen and go back to metal.&nbsp; I tried a dip on an old grey Ike with no real effect.&nbsp; I then tried some &quot;Bar Keepers Friend&quot; which I think has oxalic acid in it.&nbsp; Neither had very good results, so I just used some metal polish and buffed it up.&nbsp; My pictures really don&#039;t show it, but the polishing/buffing made it look superficially better (don&#039;t dare to look too close with a glass).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
