Last week, I mentioned my wife getting me an old Savinelli 9004 as an early Father's Day gift. Original Thread When it arrived, the stem was heavily oxidized, and more oxidation than I had previously dealt with. To avoid much material loss, I opted to restore the stem without using sandpaper or micromesh, and only used Magic Erasers, Beekeeper's Friend, toothpaste, and a lot of thumb buffing.
The before pics are the original eBay images, so sorry about the quality, but as you can see, lots of oxidation to begin with, and a mirror black surface after.
