So I bought a lot of three zippos a few weeks back and finally had a chance to polish one up a little bit but wasn't sure how it would work out or if it would damage it somehow. With that in mind I grabbed the one that was carved into and began polishing it with MASS polish. It cleaned up a bit but obviously the carvings are still in there. They do look pretty deep too, would some sand paper fix this? I don't know if it's solid brass or if sand too much it would remove all the brass.... I really have no clue. Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to help me with this.
These two lighters had about the same amount of patina. The polished one is the one in question, will sanding damage the color? I know it's already pretty damaged so I guess whatever I do to it would only help most likely. I look forward to your knowledge.
