    Cool Nail polishing the easy way

    The Animal Land hanemono I acquired recently had some very tarnished (almost black) and ugly looking brass nails, I assume from being stored in an attic space. I found using a regular pair of cheap work gloves along with a tiny dab of Brasso polish directly on your thumb/index finger makes quick work of the tarnish; and the gloves are thick enough to keep your fingers from being nicked up by the nails. After the nails were polished with the glove I came back and wiped them down rag to remove any remaining polish. I was able to get to 80% of the nails without using a shoelace to "floss" the nails that are near impossible to get to otherwise. It took me 45 mins to do all the nails using this method and it does look much better in comparison if I do say so myself!

    My Penguin's nails were also looking awfully tarnished as well after noticing the dramatic difference on the hippo machine, so I cleaned it too! The nails really "pop" now on the black playfield. Only took me 30 mins this time.
