Quinton you are in the wrong area for such a question .
You can safely use household brown vinegar .
Or carefully use hydrochloric acid .
Rinse in clean water and apply car wax or brass protector.

Muriatic acid is also effective for cleaning brass. It may be more readily available and less expensive than hydrochloric acid. It's used to condition swimming pool water. Dilute with water. Be careful.

Watch any of these strong acids when cleaning corrosion off of old brass.
Don't let it sit on the brass very long.
Strong acids will quickly eat up the zinc in the brass turnng it from that gold color we all like to a copper color.

After all~
Brass is mostly a mixture of copper & zinc with a few trace elements mixed-in depending on the type of brass alloy.

Bronze is a mixture of copper & tin with additional trace elements mixed-in depending of the bronze alloy type...
