Is there a solvent available which when poured onto copper that has
oxidation will give it that shiny copper color?  I am looking for an
easy way out versus burnishing it... if a solvent exists please share
that info... pouring some of it on to allow tinning, etc. would be a
wonderful way to avoid nicking copper which is always fateful!

I have used muratic acid (or a dilution thereof) with great success. It is
commonly available in pool supply stores, OSH, Home Depot, etc.
