It works chemically. You need a lot of rags to carry away the old oxidized stuff, and you MUST then put a coat of wax on it, but it worked great in the 80s, presuming they haven't changed the formula. It's still available though:

That's interesting stuff davepl. I've never seen it before but I'm sure the patina craze is a main factor in them "bringing it back".
The most commonly used approach is the CLR/scotchbrite method, followed by your personal preference of refinishing techniques. Someone just asked this question actually, and I detailed a response to it. That thread can be found
here. I also provided further details on the process I chose in my build thread. The specific post can be found
