umm Brasso always worked great on my uniform. But personally I think firearms looks so good after the brass tarnishes.

+1 on the Brass-O and you can buy it at most any hardware store.

Never-dull works about as well.
In terms of performance, Never-dull and Brasso are about neck and neck.
So it depends upon your preference. Brasso is in liquid form and you wipe it on, let it set for a bit, polish it and wipe it off. You do the same thing with Never-dull but it isn't a liquid, it comes in polish saturated wadding. Polish the brass with the wadding, then throw the wadding away and final polish with a clean cloth.

Just make sure if you use Brasso on that rifle that you pick up some sunglasses for whatever you're shooting at - they usually have sunglasses for squirrels, rabbits, deer and bear at most sporting goods stores . . .

The smell of Brasso, always takes me back to my military years and it is good stuff. I was given a plastic jar of Mother's Mag and it works well also. .. "If it's brass, polish it; If it's steel, primer and paint" Be Safe !!!

+1 on Flitz. Use it on everything. Plus, it doesn't scratch or harm bluing or paint, and applies an anti-tarnish coating to the brass.
