Reply To: Cleaning a Really Dirty Movement

Hi Dan,
some of the brass clock movements have been dirty for so long the chances of getting them to sparkle with just chemicals can be a bit slim. The next step is a polishing machine which is just a bench grinder with “pigtails” fixed to the shaft so you can attach wheels and mops. If you don’t want to go down that route then I am afraid it is a case of a good brass polish and doing it by hand.
