Has anybody tried this in the real world?
Is it reversible? Does it attract dust? Is it sticky or greasy to the touch?

Ajax and scotch bright are both aggressive abrasives and would grind the finish right off. Just wax it. maybe w/a good paste wax may be w/ some bees wax in it.That will seal it off from further oxidation/patina. But if you like the patina look (har,har) just leave it alone to let it rot a bit further.
