Hello,
Recently Richard wrote about how Evapo-Rust can clean up a pair of old cuffs. He pointed out it also removed the Bluing from them. I have used Metal Rescue on a pair of Tower-like handcuffs that were seized up. They work perfectly now. Not a speck of rust. However, they have no chrome on them and no patina. (There was no chrome to begin with.) They do not look their age. They now work but look odd. Is there a way to restore some semblance of age to them?
