How do I remove tarnish from tin figures ideally with liquid cleaner?

How? Is there a dip type product/ formula that would take mild tarnish off of delicate figures cut out of tin ? Complete immersion would be ideal.

You could dip them in Tarn X.
Tan X removes a thin layer of metal along with tarnish.
Refrain from using abrasive materials like scouring pads and rough cleaners. These materials can leave scratches on the tin that can encourage even more rust formations.
A dab of white, non-gel toothpaste on a damp cloth or toothbrush and gently rub/brush.
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 cup hot water to create a paste for larger tarnished areas of your tin. Apply the paste onto specific areas and allow it there for a few minutes before lightly scrubbing it with your rag.
Clean the tin with a little kerosene, turpentine, or nail-polish remover if the other homemade remedies are insufficient.
Use brasso liquid it works great
Thanks for all the help!
