My Scottish friend!  Take a gallon of vinegar and put a steel wool pad in 
the jug and the vinager/acid will break down the steel wool.  Once this 
happens, apply the solution and you are ready to roll.  I have done this on 
log cabins where we have installed yellow new looking wood and this turns it 
a silver brownish color.  Good luck.

P.S we like the new engines you let us bring home they are a nice fit for 
Mike and I.
