Jeff, I've used a green scotch-brite pad. It leaves a satin rather than polished finish, but that's OK in my book. Then Flitz if you like. I've pretty much stopped using cleaners for these rails as I don't care for the gunk in all the screw holes. It's not really the end of the world, just my preference. Scotch brite is fast and thorough. Then give it a quick coat of Brass-Lacquer to prevent tarnish. When you are cleaning look very closely for cracks in the brass rail. More often than not, they are there. William R.
