My before and after on my old padlock

[Tnmountains]

Thank you didn’t know they had that forum. Yeah it’s a balance to know when too much is too much. I wanted most of the rust of but noticed more small holes opening up. I used
GEMPLER’S Eco-Friendly RCQ Rust Converter and Primer All-in-One. I like the look it left not just that shoe polish black. Is primer the same as wax? Any advice on getting that brass better? Look at my picture roll please.

What I use on brass coated or guilded buttons is the loctite Aluminum jelly but for some reason they quit making it? I bough out the rest off the shelf at Ace hardware. I would leave it as is. You can identify the mark and that is amazing in itself.

Nice job,
You can coat the finished product with Renaissance Wax.
