Old timers would clean or shine their tins "on location" by rubbing them into the sand, and this was quite effective. We have evolved since then and have a plethora of effective polishes and cleaners at our disposal. Any jewelry polish or Flitz will work quite well. But my favorite is WENOL(tm). This is without a doubt the easiest most effective metal polish I have ever used. It removes all oxidation and brings back the natural shine of tin beautifully. Be sure to use a fine polishing cloth, and please stay away from paper towels as they contain paper pulp. Whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL. I cringe when I see this. We have taken a lot of effort to "hammer finish" the surface to get the luster you see. Steel wool deeply scratches this surface allowing dirt and contaminants in.
