I was and then I found some brass cleaner at the grocery store and found it did very little in terms of making much difference in the appearance of dirty brass items. Turns out, to clean brass like a professional you need to add some other household items to the mix to properly clean and shine brass to make it look new again.

Pull out these items and watch this Youtube video to learn how to get super shiny brass that sparkles again.
