Well, I've used said Brasso on UFO panels, and it works rather well. It leaves
the pieces slightly less shiny, with a windshield-like moire pattern when held
in the light (from directional strokes with the micro-abrasive), but it works
very well. Just don't place any of 6979's unprinted pieces next to the ones
you've brassoed, and nobody will be able to tell the difference.
According to Craig Hamilton, it works fine on transparent pieces as well.
