Hello everyone! Lately I’ve been getting more free time to work on my pickelhaube restoration project, but I’m a bit stumped on how to go about the next step.
As you can see in the photos below, the shell and a few of the metal parts of my pickelhaube retain traces of red residue from some sort product that was applied by a previous owner. I’d love to clean it up if possible, but I’m not sure what I should use to do so.
I’ve seen a post in this restoration section recommending a little bit of window cleaner for removing grime and dust from pickelhaube shells, but I haven’t seen any posts where this method was used to remove staining (I doubt this would work anyways). Any input would be appreciated!
