Used Brasso in Boot Camp to clean brass (what the hell was Anodized?), with vinegar to break them down. Spit shined shoes and boots, and when we done our shoes, just light the shoe polish on fire for a min to burn residue out. Use baby diapers and you will come up with a hell of a shine, till someone frigs them up by stepping on them.
Learned to buy Creighton shirts to look sharp.:flag:
