Polishing a Brass Nut

Not sure that Brasso or similar is really a problem for a non varnished fretboard as long as you buff it off properly ?
Esp if you use the wadding rather than the liquid.
Just looked it up on Wikipedia and worth noting that the US version is different to what we get here in UK and Australia is a bit different too.
Also 'Silvo' is a bit less abrasive than Brasso so could use that.

Thanks for that - I think I'll try the Silvo wadding - I spotted some in my mum's cupboard - it's probably been there since the 70's!

I used brasso on the frets and nut on my 91 Streamer Stage One and it worked a treat. Small dabs onto a microfibre cloth and then rubbing the frets, got them looking brand new again. I used masking tape on the fretboard to protect the wood and it worked perfectly.
