You can passivate brass too , in chromic acid , leaves a VERY nice "crushed" type gold finish and is resistant to tarnishing , a urethane 2 part water clear coating will help to make it good for a long time. The real problem is that over time NOTHING barring plating works for a totally maintenance free finish.

does anybody know of a place in centurion that can polish brass pipes for me?

i tried it myself last night and it is possible , but not feasible.
these pipes have quite a lot of scratches and old age stains on them an i am just not up for the job.
