Cleaning Brass on BB 44 Rifle

[Deacon]

I ran out of my regular gun cleaning spray and used some Hoppes spray foam cleaner. I typically use the foam on my Glock barrels only with no problem. When I used it on my Henry 44 and some of it got on the brass it appears to have tarnished it. Has anyone seen this before and what can I use to clean it?

Ive used brasso on mine. Might give that a try.

Or you can let it go to a nice dull patina like mine....

or shine up with Renaissance Wax.

If using Brasso, make sure to use the sku that is Ammonia free.

Warm patina is where it's at,...
