You could try some Turtlewax chrome cleaner, or the Maas product, which removes tarnish. I have had some success with brass lamps using this product. If the pitting is too bad, it is there to stay.

How To Clean Pitted Brass
2017-01-17 17:48:24 · answer #2 · answered by heptinstall 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Depends on how bad the pitting is.
If it is not too deep ,you might get away with a fairly hard buffing wheel using coarse " cutting" rouge.
Use the largest buffs you can find .
For a one shot deal a bench grinder or even a fast drill might do depending on size of the piece..
Best to "cut " a large area around the pitting or the entire piece to feather out any depressions left by cutting.
Follow up w/ finer buffing & " coloring rouges & softer wheels.
Try" Caswell Inc. specialized buffing compounds".
Not a job for a Dremel type tool unless it is a very small piece...it will just dig holes.
Best regards

You can't remove pitting. You can polish and shine the brass as best you can, but pitting is permanent.

1 and 2 are both valid answers. Pitting, even in solid, can be cleaned, but not strictly removed, without degrading the substance. Plated is a SIN in my opinion

If its pitted then chances are its brass plated.You can get it replated.
