Yep. Anything with vinegar will work if you rub long enough. In the
service, our DI told us to swipe the hot sauce off the mess hall
tables to polish the old brass faucets and plumbing fixtures in the
barracks. Later, when I ended up in the fire dept and could afford
Brasso to polish all that fire engine brass, I thought I was home
free. Nope. Damn stuff didn't work any better than Louisiana hot
sauce.
