I just posted the saratoga I picked up this summer, and I'm looking to get it cleaned. Has a pretty even coat of sickness from top to bottom. I'm thinking I could try some good old fashioned elbow grease and BKF, copper for the inside. But in case that doesn't do it, I'm looking for someone who can tumble clean polish whatever to clean it up. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your inputs. Mark

Some pics to show the sickness below.

Hey thanks Wheelah, I figured after 30+ hits someone would've at least had a smart a$$ed answer or two.

Be careful.  Some of these people who offer tumbling services with returned bottles in 2 or 3 weeks takes months to get your bottle back to you.  They don't return phone calls or emails either.  All the while you are worried about your prized bottle.  Make sure you get some references. Just MHO.

PD
