    I have a gallon of Iosso. I sprayed the surface, rinsed with water and then polished with Lucas Oil Metal Polish. I did a 2' square sheet for a lady down the street for a craft and it took about 20 minutes total to have a mirror polish on it. She did the assembly then I cleaned up the brazing lines by hand and coated with clear lacquer. Looked great.

    Man, what was that stuff they gave us in basic and tech school? It came in a round blue tin can, and was some sort of wool that seemed to last forever.

    Hit it with a abrasive wheel. Make nifty swirly patterns like engine turning.

    Keep it as is. The rustic look fits in with a living in the hills lifestyle.

    It probably doesn't show up in the pictures, but 20 years of grime doesn't look "rustic" in person.

    Yeah...it's a little more rustic than I like.

    OK...I try some of the suggestions. Thanks.

    Check with an auto detailer. They could run a few passes with polishing compounds and then seal it. It is flat so it should be a nominal job.

    I would probably go with a fine cut automotive compound and a heavy buffing wheel. Finish it off with a polish.
