Sorry Paul, I should have mentioned the other cleaners he said would
work.

They are: Zap! and Restore4 (Home Depot?)

He ( Bill abcfab@...) states that
"These cleaners al return the copper to as new condition without
scratching and because they're all basically acids, they deep clean
the copper to get out gunk that may be located just below the surface.
Just be sure to rinse after cleaning and to dry with a clean towel
so you don't leave water spots."

Hope you have as good luck as I did.
