Vinegar will remove rust from brass and I believe that it's also used to age and darken brass and to impart patina.I do like the patina, I just want to rid it of the rust. Not sure what is best way to remove the rust without scratching it up.
Folks have described using vinegar to age brass to make it look older and antique.
Hopefully doing it that way won't reveal the shiny brass under the rust.
This video shows how the brass remains all tarnished even after the rust is removed using the "vinegar only" method.
Discussion about preferring a shiny or dark brass finish has been an interesting topic for discussion on this forum in the past.--->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/poll-do-you-prefer-polished-or-tarnished-brass.874442/
