Esteban, it's a fine line between preservation/restoration and "keeping it real." To me, it is a better situation to have a medal or other award looking like "new" rather than letting it get destroyed by corrosive problems. Of course others will probably disagree with this approach, but hey, so be it. I don't polish awards, but I don't want to have them so corroded that details are lost either.
And thanks or the tip since I do have a couple of "easy" fixes and some that will require a more aggressive cleaning like the vinegar treatment rather than having it not worth displaying. (Ooh, I expect some reactions to this post...
).
