Terry,
The Tenax antiquing brushes run on a low speed polisher at 800 RPM will give you the result you want fast. Start at 36 grit and go through 300 grit. We are experts at these tools and this process.
Here is what youa re looking for:

Make sure youget the backer for a 4" snaillock to use them with a polisher. We also have them here if you need it.

Glad to be of service,
Mark
