Here is my Witch's Brew for cleaning my brass. I use equal parts vinegar, water and add about 1 cup of ketchup. This brightens and cleans my brass perfectly. I stumbled on this while eating at a fast food restuarant. My change was laying on the table and I dropped a bit of ketchup from my sandwich onto the coins. The penny became amazingly bright so I tried it on my brass and Voila! I started out using just ketchup but later added vinegar for the stubborn tarnish.
