    Rub N Buff Hardware Restore
    It won’t be my last! If you haven’t heard of Rub ‘N Buff, it is this little tube of amazingness that is like a paint / paste / cream. You can get it in various shades of gold, pewter, silver, etc.

    All you do is squeeze a small portion out, I mean SMALL, a little goes a LONG way, and rub it on whatever you want to make gold, silver, etc. Let it dry, then buff. That simple.

    My dresser and chest of drawers pulls in the master needed some help. I tried to polish the brass, but that did nothing. They needed a total overhaul.
