   Cleaning copper

   I have come across an old and very tarnished copper fire extinguisher.   
   Using some polish and a lot of elbow grease, I have managed to shine   
   up one small section very nicely, but it took a lot of work.   
      
   Is there a faster way to get it shiny? I saw a program on HGTV where   
   someone was dipping tarnished copper in a 'mild acid bath' and it was   
   coming out very shiny. Any idea what kind of acid bath would do that?   
      
   Thanks.
