Coach Wallet Rehab
So, I got this wallet today and decided to rehab it as an example for someone else with the same wallet. First I shined the brass as much as possible. Then I removed the tag and shined the tag chain. I then dunked the whole thing in a sink full of soapy water with Ivory soap. Then I rinsed the wallet under clear warm water. Then I put the wallet on a clean towel to dry. When it was mostly dry (and this wallet dried super fast) I closed it up so it would dry in the correct shape. Then I finished shining the brass and rubbed on a little moisturizer.

Good job! Looks like new.
ReplyDeleteHow do you shine the brass? Do you use a jewelry polishing cloth, by chance?
Have you ever re-plated any Coach hardware?
What I’ve discovered is a way to remove tarnish off of brass and sterling silver is to rub some Barkeepers Friend powder into the metal with your fingers. The small amount of oxalis acid helps to remove the tarnish. Although Barkeepers Friend is a powder, it doesn’t leave scratches, even on glass.
