Hello guys,

I’m hoping someone here can help with this: I just picked up an Apple /// in otherwise good condition, but the “Apple” and “///“ badges look really dull and dark, almost to the point of blending into the dark background. Is there anything I can do (like polish) to brighten them up? Any information is appreciated!

Progress! Turns out it was actually tarnished/oxidized, never seen that before! A little Brasso and lots of buffing with a microfiber cloth reveals the shining badge within.

Yes, once you get it all shined up, put some car wax or laquer, clearcoat, polyurethane, et cetera, on it, or it'll quickly happen again.
