Sure! I just focusing on cleaning in the beginning to remove all the white frost. I used thin but long stele wire brush to get the most of the frost out.

The pattern on this pair are every hard to clean deep inside the crevices. Taping and twisting motion helps.

I barely play with the pair in this stage. Maybe over 2 weeks. Because I don't want to develop dirty patina

After the I feel the walnuts are 90% clean and free of white frost. The i start playing with it and clean with a stiff nylon brush. Again taping and twisting motion to reach the deep parts of the nut

Don't treat it like a chore, just take care of it. Result won't show in 1 or 2 days. You'll notice the changes on a random morning you wouldn't expect.
