Flitz works on pretty much everything, including Vulcanite. It also doesn't contain ammonia or harsh solvents, so it's safe for pipe finishes.Lord Guyrox wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 7:41 pm What do you guys use to make your pipes' metal adornments shine again?

That should help you find some place in your area that sells it.

Cool! There are a couple places in town that sell it. Never would have thought of either place!

I used it the other day to polish out scratches in the lenses on my glasses.
I resisted the urge to coat them in Paragon when I was done.

I cheat. I use a buffing wheel dedicated to metal, and mask off the wooden shank while buffing the adornment. Takes about 30 seconds.
