Refinishing brass faucets (do it yourself)

I am doing home repairs and I want to refinish my brass faucets on my tub and my sinks. What is the best way to refinish brass faucets?

Hello Matt. If they are lacquered solid brass, you may be able to strip the lacquer with lacquer thinner ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Warning! highly flammable! , polish them up, clean them again with lacquer thinner ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Warning! highly flammable! after polishing, and lacquer them. Or simply send them to a plating shop who will know what to do. Good luck.
